The Anglo-Indians Of Madras --- Episode- 8 ( Part 1) Perambur 

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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 .

Very touching. Thank you for this. God bless dear Anglos😍Wherever you are no matter how far.

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.

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

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 ..

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

Brought so much nostalgia....
