"Cultural identities are forged through a combination of shared histories that transcend a time and a place... who is to say what the future holds, whether the recent resurgence and new found pride of the community can be sustained, only time will tell... but one thing is for sure: The Anglo-Indian story first germinated in India but the Scattered Seeds continue to bloom gloriously around the world". Dorothy S. Dady
Scattered Seeds: The Diaspora of the Anglo-Indians is presented as a gift to celebrate the experiences of three generations of Anglo-Indians expressing their personal sense of identity. The front cover symbolises the British and Indian flags representing Anglo-Indians scattered throughout the world. The personal journeys recounted by the contributors brings to life an unimaginable lifestyle layered with aspects of class, religion, power and freedom.
The book is divided into three main parts, a succinct history, personal expressions of identity in a changing world written by Anglo-Indians residing all over the world and a conclusion leaving one with thoughts about a race of people who have and are contributing to the countries they find themselves in. It is a piece of literature complimented with photographs of real people that will stimulate conversation, increase historical knowledge and entertain you with anecdotal life experiences.
