Scattered Seeds: The Diaspora of the Anglo-Indians is a remarkable record, both visual and textual, of an extraordinary community that has enriched India in so many ways. Most admirable of all is the Anglo-Indians' ability to retain their distinctive culture, even as they adapt so successfully to new lives in new countries... a characteristic that is demonstrated in the many fascinating stories told by the people you have portrayed. My congratulations to you on bringing out this beautiful book, which is of lasting value. I hope it has a wide readership. Sonia Gandhi - President, All India Congress Committee 'Scattered Seeds' leads us through an array of beautiful portraits of Anglo-Indians from around the globe. The photographs are enriched with personal biographies that demonstrate a real depth of honesty in relating to the many aspects of cultural identity. I find it interesting that although our Community is 'scattered' far and wide there is still a strong affinity with India. Well done, a truly thoughtful and inspired piece of work. Ruskin Bond - Mussoorie, India I join with all our Anglo-Indian community around the world to say a huge THANK YOU for undertaking this amazing project which will be a great source of pride and inspiration not only for us now but for generations to come. Good on you! June van Geyzel - Melbourne, Australia To say that I am impressed and thrilled is the understatement of the year! It is splendid - a coffee table book to make all Anglo-Indians proud of their heritage. You have done a truly remarkable job in producing a beautifully crafted publication - one which presents a unique personal record of our Community in diaspora. I'm sure that many of our children and grandchildren will cherish this as a link to their origins - a "snapshot" of who we once were and who we are today. Bravo! Margaret Deefholts - Vancouver, Canada Very, very impressive. From the very beginning you have kept it “sharp” and to the point. The time spent and the tireless effort has resulted in a top quality publication, providing a comprehensive and historical account of that group of people born in India during the era of the British Raj and proud today to be Anglo-Indian. Brian Gorham - Auckland, New Zealand 'Scattered Seeds' has arrived and it is gorgeous! The photos are marvellous, the accompanying texts are magnificent, and the whole production is a great tribute to our community and a shining testimonial to your artistry. The whole book is worthy to grace the coffee tables of the finest mansions in the country, and I am sure that each person portrayed must be delighted to be included in this magnificent collection. THANK YOU for the privilege you have given me by including me. Stan Blackford - Adelaide, Australia We would both like to compliment you on having produced a book of such a high quality - beautiful pictures and a fascinating choice of people.

Congratulations on a job well done! Rex D'Costa - Maryland, USA Congratulations the book is fascinating... what you have created is an immeasurably, memorable book. The photographs that accompany the writings from Anglo-Indians all over the world, is the icing on the cake. When you look at each portrait it is not hard to imagine the person speaking the words. This is what makes SCATTERED SEEDS as vivid as a screenplay. A grand addition to your home library and a valuable pictorial history book to leave for my grandchildren. Lynette Reberio - Mississauga, Canada The Anglo-Indian community can rightly claim to have made a big contribution to the great progress made by India, which commemorated its 60th anniversary of independence this year and your book Scattered Seeds bears testimony to the significant part played by the Anglo-Indian community...
