The main theme of "By Any Other Name," by Santha Rama Rau is that personal and cultural identities are important.
In this Anglo-Indian day school, both girls were given an Anglo name because their names were said to be, "hard to pronounce." Even if the narrator, Santha, was the same person, she felt detached to herself as "Cynthia," in school. It was as if it was another person because she had to be someone else, once she entered campus. She and her sister were brought up in a different culture and they felt that in their school as they were often segregated and singled-out because of their race. In the end, Premila had enough of the discrimination and she and her mother decided that it was not a school to go back to. Even when they thought that Santha did not understand what was happening, it was revealed that she did.
This shows that personal and cultural identities are important because no matter what happened in school they maintained to be themselves as they were brought up to be and rejected the person they "should" be in school.

Explanation:
US and the USSR emerged as the two greatest powers for two reasons. Firstly, they had plenty of recourses and manpower, and the industry to use them. Both the US and the USSR had lots of factories, so they could turn their iron, coal, steel, and oil into goods. They could also use these resources to rebuild their Nations, although in the case of the US this was not necessary. This bring me to my second point, they were the only ones left. The British were bankrupt and London was in ruins, at the same time their colonies were diserting them, France was bankrupt as well, and was also losing its colonies. In addition France never had the industry or population of even Britian. Germany was being occupied, so that gets them out of the picture. China was in the middle of a civil war, and did not have very much industry. Japan was in ruins, and was occupied. I would add that despite its problems Japan was able to become a powerhouse.
