From the Introduction to The Anglo-Indian Vision 

	"This book has sought to redress a little of the massive imbalance of deliberate 

distortion, misunderstanding, ignorance and hackneyed views about a remarkable 

people with a fine and civilised history, rich in humanity, who have suffered 

purely because they were pioneers; a transitional group who challenged prejudice 

hundreds of years ago.


     The Anglo-Indian contribution to the world is not the question of 'difficulties' 

of a minority or marginal group. It is a shining example, a little known history 

of centuries of transcendence of plagues such as inequality of class and race 

prejudice." 


(Gloria Moore in the last chapter of The Anglo-Indian Vision)

	Gloria Moore has written a sensitive and very readable history of the 

Anglo-Indian people which will make a fine addition to any bookshelf in the 

home or library.




 

THE LOTUS AND THE ROSE: AN ANGLO-INDIAN STORY 

BY Gloria. J. Moore





From the Introduction by Peter Spyker, MP.  Minister for Ethnic Affairs Victoria, Australia.

Gloria Jean Moore's history of an Anglo Indian family or cluster of families does not attempt to be the technical work of 
a historian, or a full collection of documents, but more simply and, from a certain viewpoint, more interestingly, the 
"impressionist" portrayal of the Thomsons, the Cummmings and the McGills.  The book is based on oral and written 
records and sources, handed down from generation to generation...


The narration begins with the bloody 1857 Mutiny and ends with the establishment of sections of the family in 
Australia after a temporary peregrination and settlement in England...
