Show Notes
Be it Edith Simmons (Mahanagar) or Violet Stoneham (36 Chowringhee Lane), the Anglo-Indian community's portrayal in cinema can be deemed enigmatic, to say the least. This dovetails into the challenge of identity that is central to the community's enduring presence in independent India. Barry O Brien, noted quizmaster and ex-MLA of the WB Legislative Assembly, joins us to discuss his book "The Anglo-Indians: A Portrait of a Community", wherein he presents an insider's view of his community.
