Explanation:

Sarcasm means a mockery or derision, closely linked to irony (often this connection is made thanks to the lived tragedy of the sarcastic person in comparison with the life of other people of better luck), with a mordant intent almost cruel. In this case, Mukharji would like to critique his experiences in England, but he did not want to offend the British, so he made these criticisms in the form of sarcasm, to create a joking tone and relieve his stories in the ears of the British .

Explanation:

"A Visit to Europe" is a book that was written by T.N Mukharji and which was published in 1889. The book recollects the different travelling experiences that the author had not just on his trip from India to England, but also, during his actual stay in Europe, as he visited the Colonial and Indian Exhibition in 1886.

Athough one of the characteristics of the book is actually sarcasm and irony, especially regarding what Mukharji realizes is the lack of knowledge on the part of Europeans regarding other countries, and their customs and traditions, he does find that not all Londoners, English, or Europeans, for that matter, were bad people, or that all of them were completely ignorant about the existence of other cultures in the world. So, he uses sarcasm in his narration of events to show how Europeans consider all customs and traditions foreign to their own, as weird, but, he also wants to do so in a manner that does not insult all British, as he recognizes that not all of them are ignorant, or rejecting, of his customs as an Indian.
