My apologies, please find the Zelma's story on revver. Thanks.

I just tried that web address; it returned a "404" error; i.e. page not found.

YouTube won't allow me to paste web addresses in comments boxes, but I typed exactly the web address at the end of this video.

... wait, I'll try the US spelling of "centre" ... brb ..

no, that didn't work either.

Correct me but, does anglo indian basically mean mixed white and indians. Thanks

Hi Nigel,

I have just stumbled across your postings on youtube, and your aims sound very admirable. I am in the UK and researching for my dissertation next year which is going to be bases around Anglo-Indian families in Calcutta.

Obviously you say your website won't be ready until next year but I was not sure how to access the other videos on revver??

Also, wondered whether the Anglo-Indian monument, you discussed in another video, went ahead?

Thanks

[angloindian1]

Good hear from you. The monument project is still at the development stage. At the moment I am compiling a history for an exhibition, this is uncovering many new ways to express what is an A-I. The deeper the research the more difficult it becomes to clear the myths surrounding the A-I community. Send me an email address so we may discuss this in more detail, if you wish. Regards and thanks, Nigel

So i had a question..are anglo-indians the descendants of the whores/mistresses of british generals in india?

[angloindian1]

Thanks for the question, I expect that there are some. As with any community there is a cross over. The result is often a success, the best qualities from each parent are at the forefront. The AI community are the best example with the stats to prove it. Thanks, I hope to discuss this further.

@bmw335i88 Not necessarily. A lot of British men married Indian women and vice versa in England

I have some half cousins with the surname "Philips" who live in Perth. Chris & Calvin Philips...must see them one day. Thanks for the video Nigel.

Hi, we are currently up grading the site for next year. If you have any questions, please use this comments page and I will answer.

Regards, Nigel

Could Zelma Phillips be a relative of mine. My great-grandfather was an Anglo-Indian by the name of John Phillips born in India in 1839. His father was called Thomas Phillips. All I know is that they emigrated to Jamaica when John was a young boy and that he had 3 sisters.
