Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anglo-Indian Worthies Frightened country-people flocked into Madras to take shelter under the guns of Fort St. George. The Government then awoke from their fancied security; but the preparations for defence were made hurriedly, and proved insufficient. The Commander-in-Chief took the command of a force which was assembled at Conjeveram, where young Munro was ordered to join the camp. Colonel Baillie's detachment was recalled from the Kistna, and, in an attempt to join the head-quarters, was defeated by Hyder Ali, who interposed his army between the two forces, and prevented them from joining. The Commander-in-Chief of the English army retired to the immediate neighbourhood of Madras. On hearing of these disasters, Sir Eyre Coote, the Commander-in-Chief of Bengal, hastened from Calcutta to Madras, where he took command of the army destined for service in the field. During the delay that elapsed while the necessary preparations were being made, Hyder Ali was everywhere triumphant in the Carnatic, the scattered garrisons of Madura, Wandiwash, Vellore, and other places merely holding their own against his attacks. When Sir Eyre Coote commenced his campaign, Mr. Munro served with a sepoy battalion, and was present at the decisive battle of Porto Novo, and almost every engagement of importance that took place during the war. Hyder Ali was completely defeated and driven out of the Carnatic. For five years Mr. Munro was employed on garrison duty in various parts of the country, and for two years he served under Captain, afterwards Colonel, Read, in the Intelligence Department. He was engaged in most of the military operations in the war with Tippoo Sultan, who had succeeded his father in the sovereignty of Mysore, which ended in 1792 in the subjugation of that monarch, and in the cession of certain territory, including the Baramahal and Dindigal, to the East India Company.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study considers two generations of Anglo-Indian women in post-colonial India, and their social interaction with their community. It explores Anglo-Indian women as part of a cultural whole and as participants in the mainstream cultural claims of India. It notably highlights the marginalisation of Anglo-Indian women in decision-making, focusing on the multiple patriarchal dominations they face, and how it impacts on their role within society. It argues that the historical gendering of the Anglo-Indian community has concrete consequences in terms of familial, cultural and organizational links with the diaspora, perceptions and attitudes of other Indian communities towards the Anglo-Indian community in schools, neighborhoods and workplaces and significant discriminations based on colour of skin, economic resources and conformity to gender stereotypes. Examining how different forms of race, class and gender discrimination intersect in the lives and experiences of Anglo-Indian women, this work provides insights into contemporary gender relations in India, and is a key read for scholars in gender and sociology, as well as minority and diaspora studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The standard image of the Raj is of an aloof, pampered and prejudiced British elite lording it over an oppressed and hostile Indian subject population. Like most caricatures, this obscures as much truth as it reveals. The British had not always been so aloof. The earlier, more cosmopolitan period of East India Company rule saw abundant ‘interracial’ sex and occasional marriage, alongside greater cultural openness and exchange. The result was a large and growing ‘mixed-race’ community, known by the early twentieth century as Anglo-Indians. Notwithstanding its faults, Empire could never have been maintained without the active, sometimes enthusiastic, support of many colonial subjects. These included Indian elites, professionals, civil servants, businesspeople and minority groups of all kinds, who flourished under the patronage of the imperial state, and could be used in a ‘divide and rule’ strategy to prolong colonial rule. Independence was profoundly unsettling to those destined to become minorities in the new nation, and the Anglo-Indians were no exception. This refreshing account looks at the dramatic end of British rule in India through Anglo-Indian eyes, a perspective that is neither colonial apologia nor nationalist polemic. Its history resonates strikingly with the complex identity debates of the twenty-first century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book portrays the world history in an entirely new landscape which highlights the pace of development of all the major civilizations of the world since the dawn of human history. Man's rational behavior compelled him to search and innovate new things in order to emerge victorious in his struggle for existence, and in the process, he elevated human civilization. But different civilizations developed on different lines. Some were fast initially but later turned static, and some were static initially but later gained momentum to become world leaders, while some were in between. The author has broadly categorizes all the world civilizations into seven segments and demonstrated their behavior of development graphically. Indian civilization has been evaluated as initially glorious and highly developed, but later it turned static due to several inherent factors. Anglo-Saxon civilization has been adjudged as initially primitive and after AD 1000 it began to move slowly and later gained pace to become world leader. It has been suggested in the book that Indians should learn from the Anglo-Saxons and should follow their road to development, which has been heavily propitiated with scientific and technological innovations and rational thinking since AD 1000.
