**Vintage Tales is a collection of short stories based on the mixed-race community of India, called Eurasians or Anglo-Indians. These short stories and short sketches by Warren Brown an Eurasian author provide an insight into life in Calcutta. **
This interesting mixture of short stories also depict the culture and heritage of the disappearing Anglo-Indian community in India.
Anglo-Indians are the mixed race, which originated in India during the British Raj or the Colonial period in India. The British went to India as Traders in 1600 and left India after ruling it for over 400 years, in 1947. British soldiers married or had affairs with Indian women and their offspring were called Eurasians or Anglo-Indians.
Definition of “Anglo-Indian”: The Male Ancestor is British or European! An Anglo-Indian is defined as “a person who is of mixed British/European and Indian descent, and whose Grandfather on the male side is British or European”.
Anglo-Indians are the only minority community, whose native language is English, who are Christian by faith and who are an urban community in India, with their own Heritage, Culture with a western background.
A few popular Anglo-Indians are Alistair McGowan,George Orwell,Rudyard Kipling,Norman Hutchinson, Peter Sarsted,Cliff Richard and Englebert Humperdinck. Melvyn Brown in Calcutta is known as the Chronicler of the Anglo-Indian community worldwide, having self published a large number of books and newsletters on the Anglo-Indian race, which is slowly vanishing into the annals of history.
