Virtual Verandah: How the Internet has Brought Anglo-Indians Together

Abstract

If my Uncle Tony, also known as Brigadier Anthony Albert Lumb, were here today he’d say something like this:

 “Rotten timing, Lionel. After tiffin Anglo-Indians can’t take speeches, they’re only good for a spot of charpoy-bashing.”

However, Keith Butler has promised that anyone who dozes off in the next twenty minutes will be banned from the Grand Ball. You’ve been warned.

I hope you don’t mind me taking a personal approach to this topic. Because I am an Anglo-Indian speaking mostly to other Anglo-Indians, I trust you will hear echoes of your own childhood or family circumstances, and that in this way the larger picture gets across.
