John then turns his rage on soma , which he understands has caused her death, and throws a large amount of pills out the window.
He charges out of the hospital and tries to keep a group of workers from reclaiming their daily soma ration. The workers riot, order is restored with soma , and John gets arrested. We want them to like the new ones.
After rejecting the values of the World State, John goes off to live as far away from civilization as he can. Some people see him, and soon he is surrounded by reporters who ensure he gets mentioned in The Hourly Radio and in the newspapers. Darwin Bonaparte makes a film about him, and sightseers flock to John by the hundreds to watch him whip himself. The crowds press in on him and, in the end, sweep him up in their Orgy-porgy dance. Unable to deal with the shame and remorse of participating in the orgy, John kills himself.

You are welcome! I read your question regarding Indians tending to use the lowercase i and can tell you that as somebody rightly replied it is used only in text messages, chat and hastily composed emails by people who cannot be bothered to correct their spelling errors before sending.
There is no philosophical meaning of humility attached to self-reference with i and if a leading newspaper apparently used it in an editorial for some time, it could only be an isolated case of possibly well-intentioned, but misplaced journalistic fervor for dubious change, and not a national trend. EnglishStudent well in recent years the trend of the lowercase i has fallen, it still rears its head occasionally but I think the autocorrect tool on smartphones is much better at dealing with these l issues than ever before.
So there's no excuse, not nowadays, unless you are making some sort of statement. EnglishStudent I'm not quite old enough to remember this but my parents told me that during WW2 newsreaders on the BBC began to identify themselves to make it more difficult for the Germans to broadcast believable fake news on the BBC frequencies in the event of an invasion.
Before then they had been anonymous "voices of the BBC". The point of all this is that they introduced themselves by saying things like "Here is news and this is Alvar Liddel reading it".
Perhaps this is where the Indian newsreaders got the habit from. That is very likely, and thanks for the rare tidbit from an intriguing era! Moreover, radio became widely popular in India before TV and since radio is not a visual medium, announcers might have used 'this is' as with telephone.
