I have a wide range of interests, but at the moment I am spending most of my time working on the International Journal of Anglo-Indian Studies and the Anglo-Indian Wallah and organising an academic conference in August 2002. While most Anglo-Indians who immigrated from India to Australia, Canada and England are doing quite well for themselves in an economic sense, our Anglo-Indian culture and identity runs the risk of slowly dissipating. We are at a critical juncture in our history.

The International Journal of Anglo-Indian Studies, the Anglo-Indian Wallah are attempts to help maintain our distinct Anglo-Indian heritage. This is because they provide authors and researchers with firstly, the opportunity to have their work published and secondly, to gain them an international audience.
