Over a period of time they became a noticeable minority in India having distinct characteristics of their own. A small minority living in the mainstream of the society holding English as their mother tongue and following western style of life is a unique feature exclusively of Anglo-Indian. Their devotion, love of music, art, costume, cuisine and gender equality has some striking differences from the traditional Indian society. Despite constitutional protection, reservations and nominations facilities they doomed to their privacy and the general public in Kerala maintained a false impression about their origin, social life and organisation. Historical background, socio-cultural patterns, resemblance to European life and the complexities coiled the community which face the threat of extinction aroused the curiosity to go deep in to their life in its totality. No serious study has been made on the Socio- economic traits and cultural heredity of the Anglo-Indian Community in Kerala. 5 The study is based on an exhaustive examination of authoritative sources, primary as well as secondary. A good deal of materials for the study have been collected from Central Archives and Directorate of State Archives, Thiruvananthapuram, Archives of Kerala Legislative Assembly and office of the Anglo-Indian Association in Cochin. The reports of various commissions and committees appointed by Government of Kerala from time to time, Cover files, confidential files and various Department Files available in the State Archives have been consulted. Materials such as the Proceedings of the Kerala Legislative Assembly, Various Acts and Proclamations were also used for the study. Apart from the literary sources stated above, non- literary sources such as interview with Anglo-Indians also provided ample amount of data for this research work. In interviewing the Anglos certain criteria had to be accepted since indiscriminate interview could not be resorted to. A representative character was adopted. People from different walks of life had to be selected for the purpose. The matter collected from the interviews was corroborated with the information gathered from the written documents. 6 Secondary sources like Manuals, Gazetteers, Research papers, Newspapers, Journals and published works relevant to the present study were obtained from different institutions such as Kerala University Library, Libraries of the Department of History, Department of Politics and Department of Sociology of the University of Kerala and State Central Library, Thiruvananthapuram. I am obliged to the librarians of all these libraries for their pleasant support. It gives me immense pleasure to express my thanks to a great number of people whose invaluable contributions has made this thesis possible. Words won’t suffice to express my gratitude and indebtedness to my guide, Dr. T.Jamal Mohammed, formerly professor in History and Principal, Mannania College of Arts and science, Pangode, Trivandrum, for the unflinching encouragement, scholarly help and timely advice given by him throughout my research work. From the depth of my heart, I record my sincere thanks and obligations to him for his valuable guidance at all stages of my research. I am also obliged to Most Rev. Dr. Samuel Mar Irenios, Auxiliary Bishop of the Major Archdiocese of Thiruvananthapuram for the constant encouragement and support.

Thanks area also due to the librarians and staff of Kerala University Library, departments of History, Sociology and Politics for their support. I also gratefully remember all the staff at the various Archives and Association offices. I am thankful to my colleagues and friends especially Dr. K.Alexander, Divya, Resmi and also Meera and Sreenidhi of the Department of law for their generous support and assistance. A host of Anglo-Indian friends generously helped me in this research.

Even though India is the homeland of the Anglo-Indian community and also being constitutionally documented as one among India’s six minority groups, they continue to occupy a controversial position within the discourse of Indian national identity and thus has historically been regarded as ‘un-homed’ in India, the land which paradoxically constitutes the community’s historical recollection most importantly, the domain of their collective memory.3 Historical Background The evolution of Anglo-Indians can be traced back to the time of European expedition to the unknown

    BENJOY C JOY | Dr. Sheeja K P Participatory Regionalism leading to Sustainable City Design- a case of Urban Water Metro, Kochi Sustainable development through participatory regionalism a case of emerging integrated water transport network of Kochi. Regions are tied to each other by road, rail and water transportation networks. Every region has an identity by collective consciousness. When regions are made accessible they become hot spots of conservation. Kochi is an estuarine city. The arrival of the Kochi water metro service brings hopes to the islanders of the Kochi city region. Kadamakudy panchayat and Cheranellur panchayat are two such panchayats having a set of ten islands. This set of ten islands share a common history, religion, festivals and traditions. The islands Valiya Kadamakudy, Cheria Kadamakudy, Kothad, Moolampilly, Chariyam thuruthu, Pizhala, Murickal, Pulikkappuram and Chennur form the Kadamakudy panchayat. The islands South Chittoor and Koren kottai along with Cheranellur constitute the Cheranellur panchayat. These islands were initially occupied by fishermen, farmers and potters mainly from the Latin Christian and Luso Indians community. Chittoor palace constructed by the erstwhile king of Cochin royal family was the summer palace. The king travelled from the hill palace a.k.a the winter palace to the summer palace in boat. This shows how water transportation was a crucial component in those days. Then schools and hospitals were built on these islands thereby adding more housing stock to this place. Due to the Coastal Regulation Zone restrictions and Kerala land utilization order preventing reclamation of wetlands no new developments are happening on these islands. Kettukalakkal festival is the harvest festival of Kadamakudy panchayat.
