Truly Truly a very nostalgic video -- thanks so much for putting this together ; shared today by my close friend from UK , I have taken down the phone numbers and names of the brothers & sisters presented in this video - thank you. My friendship with the Anglo Indian Community hails from ST BEDE's Anglo Indian High School , passed out in 1983 ; and playing keyboards for AIRWAVES ( Winston Feegrade) who now is in Dubai. So many parties , weddings and Annual Dances @ the Railway Institute and Railway club --- Nostalgic and even brings a tear to my eye. My Wife unexpectedly passed away in 2021 May during the Pandemic after she risked her life to save me; now I am alone a widower and need to connect again with the taste's and regularize home cooked food to me place; I stay at Adyar. Thanks again to you all . Love & God Bless Stephen
I miss my Anglo friends as most of them migrated to Australia. Today when I ride through main road , the memories of mid 60s flash through my mind. What bygone days. Will never come back.
My dad Ian Robson is an Anglo Indian and worked on the Indian railways on the steam locomotive. He is 81 years old and I am his daughter who is writing this.
After seeing this video I remembered good old days of mine at Pudupet still remember uncle Inspector of police D.V.BRIGGS and his son Eugene Daley , Wayne Amber and Linnette...still remember Leo Melwyne...I hope every one is in good state of health...This is Sundaresan ever loving friend ....
I am an Anglo Indian from Pune My grandfather's father was a British worked for the Railway. Long live the Anglo Indian community who have enriched the country in various fields.
Finally a good documentation of the Anglo Indian community of Madras. They were such a vibrant, joyful, stylish community, highly skilled and having strong footholds in select fields like music, teaching, nursing, front office, secretarial, clergy, sport etc. They were well dressed in western style with features to match. Then within just a span of about ten or so years they all went on mass migration and suddenly this very visible community became a rarity. I really miss the Anglo Indians of Madras. But thanks to this video, I realise that we still have them in pockets and do wish that they continue to make India their home.
How can you say that lady is the last Anglo Indian in chennai I am an Anglo Indian who lived in chennai for many years now I'm in Salem Attur teaching spoken English to students I'm 80 years old. If you get time come and meet me
Thank You for this awesome and in-depth documentary. My Grandfather lived in Foxen St, worked in the Railways, both my parents grew up in Perambur, got married and left (India). It is just so interesting to see where my parents grew up and the culture they were part of. Thank you so much for this.
Time has changed a lot, but memories remain fresh giving delight whenever we recollect them. Anglo-Indian culture is a symbol of confluence between two great nations and their people. Indian govt should take steps so that this unique community and its culture grow and prosper.
I had lived most of my life in Madras being an Anglo I always felt I did not have an identity. This video will creat a sense of awareness about such a unique community especially to the stereo types. Such lovely memories after seeing this documentary. A true feeling of Nostalgia.
I live out skirt of Chennai and we had a Anglo Indian in our village(now City) we kids call them as foreigners, honestly speaking they hated us when we come close to their compound wall or in front of them. After I group up I came to know. About Anglo Indian. Started meeting them in college and work. And Anglo prefers to have friend ship other Anglo then us. You are a precious people. We request you to take your Anglo culture to next generation with out Any changes
I studied in an Anglo Indian school in Perambur, St Joseph's school,now Presentation Convent, girls school,many of my classmates were Anglo Indians,fond memories even cherished now.
I remember Peter Bailey who appears here . He was my classmate in St Joseph’s Presentation Convent , Perambur until the 6th Standard when the boys had to leave .
Feel proud that even my dad worked from steam engine and upgraded till electric trains were...though he got retired he used to cherish the lovely memories...he used to share with us many too...Happy that we did our schooling too in the perambur railway school at that time.. which is more than 150yrs old now...❤❤
Thank the force I chose to write. Hmm. You all know offlate I'm not expressive in social media. What brought me again.. two Noble souls.. Harry and Dom ... Inspite of all pandemic... Both clocked.. I have to thank Harry for bringing back few of old habits..ie reading and Dom for keeping me in good spirits. I can see the great efforts of Harry MacLure and his team.. in documenting their heritage... Recent one stands proof that no pandemic or whatever can stop him from covering. Hats off to Harry .. I really loved the perambur episode. Do keep going . My wishes.
brought back so many memories i used to stay in ballard street next to the bakery apari sound service there were many anglo indian tenants in our house our compound they were really very much friendly with us just like relatives i remember ms prudence, oliver joseph and many others ....... we would enjoy Christmas joyful eve and etc good documentation and of course i studied in anglo india perumbur school. beautiful memories 🥰🥰🥰
Ha ha first stop bringing some philosophical gibberish into dancing which is nothing but an insignificant activity to cure people's boredom. The physical body is interested only in survival and reproduction and humans play the worst role on the planet. Supposedly you need a lesson or two in science and medicine before talking about autistic children. You don't even know the history of AI cusine but seem to be giving sermons about balance, coconut rice was nothing but a cheap copy of a Kerala malabar dish, ball curry is Another kofta curry mughalai dish copied with slight variations added.
Good stuff! Very interesting. My father came from this place and was an apprentice in the railways in the 1950's. My parents were married in Lourdes church in 1960. Also curious to know about a community of Jamaicans who lived here

Awesome video. Lived on Pilkington Road in the 60s.

Thank you so much for this. I miss my Anglo Indian friends/classmates, neighbours and school. Thankful for happy days.
