During colonial rule of India, relations between British men and Indian women became regular practice, and over generations a large and growing 'mixed race' community developed. They would come to be known as Anglo-Indians and have their own distinct identity. Anglo-Indians held a unique position at the crossroads of race, color, and class. They were never fully colonizers nor colonized, but something in-between, at times playing the roles of either, neither, or both. When the British left and India was granted its independence in 1947, Anglo-Indians would face an existential dilemma. In today's episode, we sit with Uther Charlton-Stevens, author of ‘Anglo-India and The End of Empire,’ and reexamine empire and decolonization through the eyes of Anglo-Indians. • • Get the book here: https://amzn.to/4eJg7fn • • Visit our Shop: https://shopbrownhistory.com/ • • Become a patron: / brownhistory • • Books covered on the podcast so far: https://amzn.to/42TH768 • • Book Recommendations: • • An Anglo-Indian Childhood by Shirley Pritchard • • Embers: An Anglo-Indian Memoir by Joy Chase • • Anglo-Indian Lives in Pakistan by Dorothy McMenamin • • Children of Colonialism: Anglo-Indians in a Postcolonial World by Lionel Caplan • • Anglo-Indian Identity: Past and Present, in India and the Diaspora by Robyn Andrews (Editor), Merin Simi Raj (Editor)
