This is an epistolary manuscript; each chapter a letter addressed to the author's grandchildren about their Indian heritage and other matters. It deals with ancestry, history of India, geography of India. It deals with the colonisation of India by the British and explains how this mixed race of people came about. It is a family history and contains the author's philosophical ideas that have developed through life and experience. It is a book of information and enlightenment for the author's young family and hopefully others in similar situations; a book for the young mixed blood generation of today and hopefully for others that may follow.

Vyvyen Brendon's evocative, at times heart-tugging book, runs from the 18th century and the East India Company, through the Afghan wars, the Indian mutiny and the more settled era of the Queen Empress, and culminates in the conflict leading to Britain's hurried exit in 1947. Its subject is the young progeny of traders, soldiers, civil servants, missionaries, planters, engineers and what should be done with them. Until the coming of air travel these children often only saw their parents every few years. Then there were the children born of Anglo-Indian marriages and affairs. Sent back to Britain they were often reviled as 'darkies', 'a touch of the tar-brush'. And then there were the children educated in India. Brendon reveals appalling stories of abuse at the hands of servants. What frequently unites Brendon's wildly different subjects is their loneliness--drawing on letters, diaries, memoirs and interviews, she portrays children who had to discipline themselves to adapt (often ingeniously) to unfamiliar cultures, far away from family and forced to spend termtime in boarding schools and holidays with unfamiliar families.

A line of nervous young women got off a ship in Victoria Harbour in 1862 and had to walk the gauntlet between two rows of jostling, eager men. One girl, proposed to on the spot, accepted equally quickly and left town with her new husband. Why did these women leave everything behind in England and come to the west coast? The answers lie in the lusty turmoil of a gold-rush frontier, the horrible disruptions of industrial England and the conflicting aims of earnest Christians and early British feminists.

Download Last Children of the Raj Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Here is a unique entry-point into British and Indian social and cultural history in the last and momentous period in the history of the Raj. It is a vivid collection of individual memories of children born between 1914 and 1940 and who spent their childhood and adolescence in British India or the Princely States. It includes details of the roots in India, family connections, friendships with other British and Indian children, journeys, adventures, questions of color and race, and impressions of the Raj. The Second World War forms a natural break--war-time India, Independence and Partition, and the postwar return--how did they feel about the new India, and what had India given them and what did they give to India?

Download A Pretend Life, a True Story Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Was I born unlucky, or was I just too naive? I was so young, barely old enough to understand the world and its cruelty while surrounded by people who took advantage of that. This is the story of how my innocence was exploited by the needs and selfishness of everyone around me and how I used my pretend life to overcome the obstacles I faced. I have miraculously made it into my senior years and can proudly relay how I survived a life that was riddled with great challenges and sadness. I am amazed by the capacity of the mind to create survival mechanisms and thankful to share the importance of perseverance.
