  • Anglo-Indian (Eurasian) Mass-Migration and the Role of Indian Ports in Mid-Twentieth Century Passenger and Steamer Culture
    WESTWARD HO! ANGLO-INDIAN (EURASIAN) MASS-MIGRATION AND THE ROLE OF INDIAN PORTS IN MID-TWENTIETH CENTURY PASSENGER AND STEAMER CULTURE Rochelle Almeida ABSTRACT In 2011, Michael Ondaatje, The Cat’s Table, a memoir about his passage at age 11 from Sri Lanka to England in 1954. Ondaatje’s account mirrored, to a vast extent, shipboard experiences of Anglo-Indian settlers who had voyaged from port cities in India, to take up residence in England. As part of my ethnographic research on Britain’s Anglo-Indians undertaken in Britain, I unearthed previously undisclosed information about conditions prevailing in Indian port cities as steamer-loads of Anglo-Indians left India. This interdisciplinary paper combines literary evidence with first-hand immigrant narratives, uncovering information pertaining to Anglo-Indian trajectory from exit to integration. It emphasizes the environment prevailing at South Asian port cities in the lead-up to Independence and immediate aftermath. It comments on the development of a unique shipboard lifestyle and culture—a result of Westernized customs and Indian traditions—as well as their forays into port cities such as Mombasa and Aden en route to the UK. IJAIS Vol. 20, No. 1. 2020 pp. 38-50 www.international-journal-of-anglo-indian-studies.org Westward Ho! Anglo-Indian (Eurasian) Mass-Migration 39 When, following the Independence of India in 1947, Great Britain gave Anglo-Indians the legal right to re-settle and re-locate through the terms of the British Nationality Act, 1948, the great Anglo-Indian exodus from India began. What I term the ‘First Wave’ of immigration occurred between the years 1948 and 1964 when the British Commonwealth Act put an end to the influx of Anglo-Indians into Britain.

  • MAHATMA GANDHI His Life & Times
    Mahatma Gandhi – His Life & Times Written by: Louis Fischer First published by Jonathan Cape in London in 1951 Published by: Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan K. M. Munshi Marge, Mumbai 400 007 Email: [email protected] Website: www.bhavans.info 2 MAHATMA GANDHI His Life & Times KULAPATI’S PREFACE The Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan—that Institute of Indian Culture in Bombay—needed a Book University, a series of books which, if read, would serve the purpose of providing higher education. Particular emphasis, however, was to be put on such literature as revealed the deeper impulsions of India. As a first step, it was decided to bring out in English 100 books, 50 of which were to be taken in hand, almost at once. It is our intention to publish the books we select, not only in English but also in the following Indian languages: Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam. This scheme, involving the publication of 900 volumes, requires ample funds and an all-India organisation. The Bhavan is exerting its utmost to supply them. The objectives for which the Bhavan stands are the reintegration of Indian culture in the light of modern knowledge and to suit our present-day needs and the resuscitation of its fundamental values in their pristine vigour. Let me make our goal more explicit: We seek the dignity of man, which necessarily implies the creation of social conditions which would allow him freedom to evolve along the lines of his own temperament and capacities; we seek the harmony of individual efforts and social relations, not in any makeshift way, but within the frame- work of the Moral Order; we seek the creative art of life, by the alchemy of which human limitations are progressively transmuted, so that man may become the instrument of God, and is able to see Him in all and all in Him.

  • 1) FINSBURY Our Finsbury Area Consists of the Part of the Borough
    1) FINSBURY Our Finsbury area consists of the part of the borough south of the A501 (Pentonville Road and City Road). The A501 is acknowledged as a major dividing line through the south of the borough. It is the present northern boundary of Bunhill and Clerkenwell wards and before the introduction of new wards at the 2002 election, it was the northern boundary of the Bunhill and Clerkenwell wards that existed from 1978 to 2002. The A501 was described by Islington Council at the 1999 review as a “pronounced physical barrier” and this continues to be true today. Being roughly coterminous with the old metropolitan borough of Finsbury, the area south of the A501 has a distinct identity. A large number of street signs bearing the legend ‘Borough of Finsbury’ have been retained around the streets of Finsbury. This is also reinforced by the A501 being the boundary between the EC1 and EC2 postcode areas (Finsbury) and the N1 postcode area (Angel and the surrounding area). Finsbury being the earliest-developed part of the borough, it represents an astonishing mix of properties. In addition to the various types of housing stock, which we mention above, from Georgian townhouses via high-rise post-war council estates and converted warehouses to new high- rise blocks of luxury apartments, it also contains the campus of City University London and a large amount of student accommodation, the Wolfson Institute of Preventative Medicine, and any number of shops and businesses on the City fringe. Even a three-minute walk through almost any part of Finsbury would present a bewildering mix of housing styles and property uses.
