2010
sees the revival of the Anglo-Indian Wallah. A new contributor to the AIW, Sheldon Fernandes has provided us a
moving outline of time spent in a slum in Kenya, that will encourage us to
introspect on humanity in the midst of extreme poverty. Harry MacLure is familiar to earlier readers and contributors of
the journal and he kindly allows us to reuse his story 'Hell', a tale with a 'spooky'
atmosphere, first printed in Savvy magazine in 1990. Noel P Thomas does us the wonderful service of taking us out of
the strictured view of Anglo-Indians as railway people only seen from a
socio-economic perspective, and lets us in on fascinating technical facts as
detailed by those who knew and loved their formidable machines well.
For
me this is an eventful year that sees me editing both The International Journal
of Anglo-Indian Studies as well as The Anglo-Indian Wallah. I hope to bring new
and old people into the fold and want to express my gratitude and thanks to
