Calcutta has one of the largest Anglo-Indian populations in the world. This is a community with members who occupy a wide range of socio-economic positions and who live a variety of lives that are always nuanced by their being Anglo-Indian.

The book comprises life stories, memoir pieces and essays on issues of contemporary interest.
