(44) In 1956, the researcher was in an Anglo-Indian school
in Bombay. The teaching methods had remained unchanged
since 1956. The researcher observed teaching methods in
Anglo-Indian schools during the field study in 1990.
(45) During 1989-90, the researcher had received letters
from Anglo-Indians who were teaching in Anglo-Indian
schools, and from Anglo-Indians who had experienced
Christianity lessons or from Indians who had experienced
"morals" in an Anglo-Indian school. The first excerpt is
taken from an Anglo-Indian teacher's letter. The second
excerpt is taken from an evaluation form which respondents
completed after the interview.

Sometimes we were envious because we could not
join a football or netball match after school
hours. We Catholic students joked about it,
and offered it up as penance!
