Who is Jamshed from Swimming Lessons and what is their importance?

In "Lend Me Your Light," Jamshed is boy of wealth who lives in the exclusive Malabar Hill of Bombay. He is Percy Boyce's friend while at St. Xavier's and his life's goal is to leave the "bloody corruption" of India for New York. There, however, his ethnic background still seems to haunt him. Fellow émigré, Kersi Boyce in Toronto, ends corresponding with him because of his attitudes.
