Anglo-Indians Return to Glory Community

Anglo-Indians Return to Glory Community Profile by Warren Brown

Slogan: Anglo-Indians Are An Unbreakable Community

History: Anglo-Indians are a minority mixed-race (British-European and Indian) community, which originated in India during the period of European and British rule. The community was result of the progeny of European and British men with Indian women. The offspring of these unions were referred to as Eurasians and Anglo-Indians.

Social Presence: Anglo-Indians have been and continue to be an integral part of the Indian nation for over four hundred years. The community of Anglo-Indians have been a vital part of the Indian work force having served in the various sectors of Indian industry, as Teachers in the field of Education, Train drivers in the field of Transport, Secretaries for Multinational Corporations, as Sales and Banking Executives, sport persons in the sphere of sporting and in so many other fields of endeavour.

Present: The Anglo-Indian community has now come under threat when its representation of two seats in Indian Parliament has been removed.

This action by the Indian Government has left an indelible scar on the minds and in the hearts of all community members in India.

There are still a large proportion of Anglo-Indians present in India to this day. This is however not the view of the Indian government.

In order to verify the total numbers of Anglo-Indians present in India today, it would make sense if the government took the time to take an authentic audit of community numbers with the assistance of the several Anglo-Indian leaders, clubs, associations and organizations which are still very present in India.

Plan of Action: this is the time for all organizations, leaders, associations and clubs to rally the whole Anglo-Indian community in India and abroad to make the presence of the community known in India, as well as to bring this to the attention of the Indian government. The community needs it proper representation in Indian Parliament, as it ensures the political existence of the community as noted in the Constitution of India.

A Grandmother's Legacy by Jenny Mallin

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Jenny-Mallin/e/B017AFQYSO/

Jenny Mallin's earliest memories are of her mother in the kitchen, tapping a wooden spoon against the side of the metal dekshi and then tasting her curry sauce, checking the seasoning. From that moment, Jenny was hooked...

With her passions for cooking, India, research and writing, the outcome has been a labour of love - a memoir that mingles the history of her family when they lived in India, with her grandmothers' recipes that were prudently passed down through the generations. Each recipe has been lovingly researched, leading Jenny on a road of discovery about her ancestors, with her grandmothers' legacy continuing to assist in providing clues to their rich and eventful past. A unique insight into five generations of an Anglo-Indian family; an evocative memoir that stirs the imagination of the reader by bringing to life her grandmothers, their lifestyle and their recipes. It's a story about these extraordinary ladies, who showed great foresight by sharing and passing their recipe book from one generation to the next... These were all ladies who were brought up during the reign of Queen Victoria and King George, fiercely loyal to their Queen (and King) and yet lived happily in their community in India, equally at home with making Yorkshire Pudding one day and a hot fiery Madras Curry the next. As proud custodian of a recipe book that dates back to 1844, Jenny has managed to share with us a glimpse into a fascinating period of time in Indian history.

Jenny has travelled extensively throughout India and has also visited many other countries, including Hong Kong, Japan, Australia, and America. Her travelogues and written anecdotes of her journeys are much enjoyed by her family and friends.

Now a writer, Jenny has had a successful career at the BBC in television production. She lives in Kingsclere with Stewart, her husband of over 30 years, and their two cats. Any spare time that she has is spent doing painting, home decorating, jewellery making, listening to music, photography and enjoying nature.
