  • Political Nominations & the Anglo-Indian
    Political Nominations & the Anglo-Indian: A Reality Check BRYAN OLIVER PEPPIN The 11th World Anglo-Indian Reunion 2019 held at Loyola College, Chennai, on January 8, 2019. Photo: M. Karunakaran As India gears up for another general election, a forgotten section of the electorate is the about 1.50 lakh strong Anglo-Indian community. Under the constitutional guarantee of Article 331, two members would be nominated to represent the community in the next Lok Sabha as has been the procedure since independence. In this analysis, Bryan Oliver Peppin, Retired Professor of English, The New College, Chennai, and author of Black and White: The Anglo-Indian Identity in Recent English Fiction, discusses the issues that matter for the Anglo-Indian community. Emphasising that “no other individual parliamentarian serves people across the length and breadth of the country” he calls for consensus in the process of nominating the Anglo-Indian representatives to the Lok Sabha. Moreover, the nominated MPs “must have unblemished records and be well-known regarding the welfare of the people they are supposed to represent”. Peppin points out that it is “always better to have outspoken crusaders rather than people who simply sign above the dotted lines” and that the nominated Members of Parliament should be ready and willing to take up a just cause and see to it that justice prevails in all disputes. “Since the two representatives are sometimes lucky enough to be chosen, they should not take it as a matter of course to look down on the people they are supposed to serve”. Anglo-Indian Politics, a brief history he “Anglo-Indian” community has been in existence for about 500 years, but was not recognised as such until the twentieth century.

  • Further Discussion on the Resolution Regarding Reservation for Socially and Educationally Backward Classes Moved by Shri E
    nt> Title: Further discussion on the resolution regarding reservation for socially and educationally backward classes moved by Shri E. Ahamad on 18th August, 2000. (Concluded and resolution withdrawn) 16.05 hrs. MR DEPUTY-SPEAKER: Now, we shall take up Private Members'' Business -- Reservation for socially and educationally Backward Classes. Shri E. Ahamed to continue. Hon. Members, whatever time of the Private Members'' Business has been taken by the Government Business, that much of time will be added to the Private Members'' Business. 1606 hours SHRI E. AHAMED (MANJERI): Mr. Deputy-Speaker, Sir, while moving my non-official Resolution on August 18, 2000, I had dealt at length the genesis of the Reservation in this country and the evolution of the present Reservation Policy. While, mentioning these facts last time, I had explicitly quoted the interpretation and also the observations with respect to the Article 16(4) A which was incorporated by the 77th Amendment. But stressing the need of the Reservation for the socially and educationally Backward Classes including the Muslims in accordance with proportion of their population notwithstanding anything contained in any judgment of any Court of law to the contrary including ceiling on percentage of reservation, I would like to bring to the notice of this august House the prenatal history of Article 16(4) which is the basis of the Reservation for different classes of people. Sir, before I just go into it, I would like to quote Article 16(4). It says: "Nothing in this article shall prevent the State from making any provisions for the reservation of appointments or posts in favour of any backward class of citizens which, in the opinion of the State, is not adequately represented in the services under the State.

  • The Anglo-Indian Community in Contemporary India1
    The Anglo-Indian Community in Contemporary India1 by ROY DEAN WRIGHT AND SUSAN W. WRIGHT FROM THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY onward, numerous European powers attempted to establish colonial footholds throughout the continent of Asia. Certainly there had been outside contacts and conquests earlier in the history of this area, but European economic and political dominance on a long-term and lasting scale was first potent at that time. Shortly after European colonial representatives arrived in Asia, a biological hybrid, the Eurasian, was sired by these invaders. This action was so typical that all Asian countries having a history of European colonial dominance evolved such a minority. The extensive period of European colonialism in India propagated one such population of biological hybrids, generally referred to as Anglo-Indians. The Anglo-Indian Community, as the term is used in contemporary India, has a history that is traceable to the earliest arrivals in India of European colonials, the Portuguese in 1498, but more significantly to the British in 1600. Between the periods of dominance perpetrated by these callers other European powers, notably the French and Dutch, were present in India, but the scope of their dominance was quite limited. The influence of the Portuguese was, however pervasive, especially in the southern coastal region. Colonial encouragement, as well as inevitable social and cultural contacts, soon produced a large number of individuals having a mixed biological heritage. Within a few decades, this group of Eurasians expanded substantially and became identified with other communities of similar origin, especially those having a British heritage; evolving into what is presently known as the Anglo-Indian Community of India.

At the time of Independence in 1947 there was ostensibly a broad con- sensus on the ends and means of diplomacy, which included peaceful co-existence and anti-imperialism on the one hand, and non-alignment and non-violence on the other. This consensus, crafted by India’s first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, is depicted as having weakened over subsequent decades, eventually collapsing when diplomatic isolation and near bankruptcy at the end of the Cold War compelled the adoption of a more pragmatic approach to foreign relations.

  • THE PROFESSIONAL LIVES of ANGLO-INDIAN WORKING WOMEN in the TWILIGHT of EMPIRE Uther Charlton-Stevens
    The Professional Lives of Anglo-Indian Working Women 3 THE PROFESSIONAL LIVES OF ANGLO-INDIAN WORKING WOMEN IN THE TWILIGHT OF EMPIRE Uther Charlton-Stevens ABSTRACT This article explores the lives of Anglo-Indian women in employment in the late colonial period. In doing so it emphasises the importance of categories in policing the location of Anglo-Indians within the world of the domiciled and the socio-racial hierarchy of the Raj. The experience of Anglo-Indian women who travelled to Africa and the Middle East before and during World War II, helps to demonstrate how selective identification with Britishness and with India contributed to shaping individual lives and identities. The case of military nurses is particularly foregrounded, based on an interview with Florence Watkins in Jubbulpore in 2010. INTRODUCTION Anglo-Indians are a mixed race group which arose out of the European mercantile and colonial presence in South Asia. Unions (primarily) between European men and Indian or mixed race women, eventually resulted in the emergence of a micro- community as a significant buttressing adjunct to the smaller colonial British population. Anglo-Indians developed as an Anglophone Christian group, and became increasingly (though never entirely) endogamous as consequential boundaries were drawn between them and colonial Britons through processes of social closure and legalised forms of discrimination which marked them out from both colonisers and colonised. Nonetheless Anglo-Indians were substantially co- opted by and materially rewarded for service to the colonial state. Anglo-Indian women played a very significant role in the economic and social life of the group. Divergent responses to decolonisation and shifting group orientation, played out in the arenas of women’s work, identities and politics.
