 B&EW Foundation |
The B&EW FOUNDATION was established in 2007 by Blair and Ellen Williams, of the USA, to provide financial aid to young, intelligent, and deserving Anglo-Indians. This is available to any Anglo-Indian who wishes to pursue, or is already pursuing, higher or professional education.
Currently Blair and Ellen administer CTR. USA public charity rules limit the amount of money that can be donated to a public charity. In order to give more, individuals have to set up private foundations. That is why the B&EW foundation was formed. The foundation will be privately funded and is expected to support about 10 students annually.

| The
Anglo-Indian Home Page |
Hosted by Dr Adrian Gilbert, The Anglo-Indian Home Page
was set up in June of 1996 and was the first site on the
web that focused on Anglo-Indian issues. In particular,
the Anglo-Indian Home Page is the site where the International
Journal of Anglo-Indian Studies (IJAIS) and the Anglo-Indian
Wallah (AIW) are published.
|
| Anglo-Indian
Portal |
Hosted by Terry Fletcher, the Anglo-Indian Portal is
a window on to all things Anglo-Indian plus an eclectic
mix of articles, links to other Anglo-Indian sites, links
to freeware, a directory that you can use to search for
friends and family, an hilarious dictionary of long-forgotten
"Anglo" words submitted by users, a delightful
trip to a children´s page entitled "kidZone",
plus much, much more. Drop in and lose yourself in yesteryear
for a little while!!

| Anglo-Indians |
The site, hosted by Bert Payne and maintained by Bert
and Lynette Rebeiro, has been designed to be the most
complete international repository and exchange of Anglo-Indian
information. You will find information on the History
and the current culture of Anglo-Indians around the world,
an index of perhaps the world´s most complete Library
of Anglo-Indian information, and also listed are recently
past and upcoming Reunions for those interested in meeting
others who share our heritage.

We are concerned at the extent of Poverty, hunger,
homelessness and despair in parts of India. Collectively
we can bring some hope and happiness to the less fortunate.
Collectively we can extend a hand to the needy, care
for the aged, feed the hungry and shelter the homeless.
Support our requests so as in turn you will be supporting
the anguish of OUR fellow community in India. Your
GIFT today is their JOY tomorrow.

| Denna's
World |
Says Denna, from Germany, "I got to sit in front
of a 'puter' about a year ago . . couldn't understand
WHAT made my hubby sit here for hours on end, well, now
I know!!! And although creating this site has DEFINITELY
caused me my first grey hairs (!!) . . it has become a
most enjoyable hobby and now its ME sitting here every
free minute! At this point I would like to add a BIG thank
you to my family, for the patience and putting up with
some 'late meals' and 'unmade beds' . . . I LOVE YOU!
I have met such lovely people around the world through
the internet . . . so a special 'hello' to all of you
out there and a big 'hug'!
There's a little bit of everything in here . . . so
I hope you enjoy yourself as much as I did building
this!! And to those of you who don't know me (as yet!!)
. . . Hi! Welcome aboard and browse through my pages
and tell me what you think of it by signing my guest
book!!"

| Margaret's
Place |
The home of author, freelance writer and compulsive traveller, Margaret
Deefholts. Spend some time, probably many entertaining
hours, discovering the varied and wonderful experiences
that only Margaret can describe in her own inimitable
fashion. Read excerpts from her book "Haunting India",
and if that doesn't tempt you into buying a copy, then
you do not have Anglo-Indian roots!! This is a "Must
Visit" site.
|
| Margaret Deefholts Journeys |
Margaret Deefholts, travel writer, author and photographer has opened a new site to showcase her various talents. You need to do yourself a favour and visit this site for a substantial feast of literary and visual content.
The opening quote from her homepage, "Wanderlust is a fever. It's often infectious. Usually incurable. For those already afflicted with the itch, this is a good scratching post. For those eager to catch the contagion, settle yourself in a comfy armchair, and let your temperature rise as you hit the adventure trail." sums up what is in store for the visitor.

| Pepperwater.com |
Hosted by Conrad Abraham, this aggresive and flamboyant
new website has burst on to the internet aimed specifically
at the Anglo-Indian. He claims [mistakenly]
to be the first Anglo-Indian Portal, but it appears that
the webmaster for Anglo-Indian Portal has forgiven him
this slight indiscretion, as he will probably still
be on the web when the former is long gone!! This is
an excerpt from his homepage:
"The first ever portal/web site specifically for
Anglo Indians. You can meet other Anglos who've moved
away, blog, share your thoughts, post pictures, basically
connect with other Anglos!"
So, why not visit this enthusiastic young man's site
to find out what he has to offer?

| Sunshine
& Rainbows |
The home of Doreen Jonas, a firebrand from Madras (Chennai)
who has a wide choice of information on her site. The
two main items are tantalising recipes from her cook book
"From The Raj To The Taj" and her "Message
Board" where visitors from around the world post
their views - not necessarily views that are supported
by the host - but 'allowed' for a short period until somebody
really does take offence. Worth visiting just to read
some of the views, even if you don't wish to actively
participate!!
|
| Where
Are They Now? |
Without doubt the most comprehensive directory of names
and addresses of Anglo-Indians from around the world.
This mammoth task was overseen by Lionel Daroux who strove
to have the information, submitted via a form on his website,
displayed within a week. When you take a look at the sheer
volume of entries you may well begin to understand how
difficult a task this must have been.
Sadly Lionel passed away on Friday, October 27, 2006. His family promised at the time that they would continue to run the site for as long as it was possible. This has not been possible and going directly to the sites old URL produces a 404 (Site not found) error.
However, a 'Web Archive' organisation has many of Lionel's pages stored for posterity, and you can access some of them by visiting:

| Where
Two Worlds Meet |
A small site hosted by John Kingsley with links to
many Anglo-Indian sites, some Anglo-Indian schools and

To quote John, "COME, TRAVEL TO A DISTANT LAND
BEYOND THE OCEANS . . . OR STOP AWHILE AND TAKE A NOSTALGIC
TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE !"

Anglo-Indians
- Vanishing Remnants of a Bygone Era
by Blair Williams |
Based on research conducted
by Blair Williams in India, the UK and North America from
1999 to 2001. The central question asked was "In
the 21st Century, are Anglo-Indians merging into the mainstream
of the country where they are now domiciled?"
|
Haunting
India
by Margaret Deefholts |
Travel back in time to old familiar places.
Re-live yesteryear: sleeping under a mosquito net on a
bungalow lawn, the summer nights heady with the scent
of frangipani blossoms. Hear again the distant yowl of
a jackal at dusk. Walk the throbbing streets of Bombay,
drop into Nizams in Calcutta. Above all, come "home"
once more to that greatly loved, but now vanished world
of Anglo-India.

Manufacturing
For Survival
by Blair Williams |
A how-to guide for practitioners and managers.
Covers state-of-the-art in manufacturing, including ISO
9000, forecasting, scheduling, leadtime management and
more.

Voices
on the Verandah
an Anthology of Poetry & Prose |
Voices on the Verandah is a prime example
of an anthology which offers an interesting mix of reading
material. As a literary collection of tales and poetry,
written from a uniquely Anglo-Indian perspective, the
short stories range from nostalgic to humorous, and the
poetry selections run the gamut from wistful to jaunty.
|
The Way We Are
An Anglo-Indian Mosaic |
"The Way We Are" (TWWA) edited by Lionel Lumb and Deborah Van Veldhuizen is the fifth in our CTR Books series on the culture and way of life of Anglo-Indians.
TWWA is an anthology of 43 articles chronicling the way Anglo-Indians adapted to life in the new countries they chose after emigrating from India.
|
The Way We Were
Anglo-Indian Chronicles |
This anthology is both an eulogy and an elegy on a wonderful community now scattered all over the English-speaking world, facing extinction because of its wide dispersal, and the stretching, tautening and snapping of its India roots.
|
| The
Hunger Site |
It is estimated that one billion people
in the world suffer from hunger and malnutrition. That's
roughly 100 times as many as those who actually die
from these causes each year.
About 24,000 people die every day from hunger or hunger-related
causes. This is down from 35,000 ten years ago, and
41,000 twenty years ago. Three quarters of the deaths
are children under the age of five.
