The general notion about the Anglo-Indians is that of a misunderstood community. Over the years they have acquired the image of a ‘fun-loving’ community. But their unobtrusive contribution in the building of modern India has remained unnoticed to the general mass. The book attempts to explore the significant contributions of the community in various facets of life and at the same time throws light on their past, present and future. This slender volume is the outcome of systematic research supported with empirical data collected in the recent past. It will prove worthy of libraries, ethnographers and others to know more about the present day marginalised community of the Anglo-Indians. The members of the Anglo-Indian community will also find the book a valuable resource.
