COLONIAL EXPLOITATION OF ANGLO -INDIAN LABOUR: A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES
ABSTRACT
The Anglo-Indian dream of a nation is not to be identified as a primitive
category as in the case of communities like Jews, with unchangeable or fixed
expectations. Since the Anglo-Indian is a result of colonialism, their idea of
nation, as Anshuman A. Mondal reviewed in Nationalism and Postcolonial Identity:
Culture and Ideology in India and Egypt
elsewhere, “is the product of specific historical moment” (15). The dream for a
separate nation derived here when Anglo-Indians as a cultural community or ethnic
group become less culturally comparable as they observe a mutual historical
meaning to their survival.
