They were :
(1) An outline of the research.
(2) Questions about the community and its education.
(3) A request to stay with either a family or in a
school during July and August 1990.
During this period, eighty-four letters were also written
via their publishers to Indian educationists, Indian Social
Scientists and Indian Journalists, who had either written
books or articles, published in India, the United Kingdom
and the United States of America. All the books or articles
had made specific reference to Anglo-Indian education. An
effort was made to write to people whose work was published
after I960.
This method was very effective in making contact with
Indian educationists. The replies were encouraging, and
either offered further information about the community or
indicated a willingness to take part in the survey.
The next section describes the selection of the various
groups and individuals. This is called "vertical
segmentation".
5. THE VERTICAL SEGMENTATION OF REPLIES: It was not easy
to make any decisions about group selection at that early
stage. Instead as replies arrived they were "segmented"
and placed in separate files numbered 1-6. Each "segment"
was entitled:
6. Absolutely necessary
5. Especially important
4. Important
3. Ordinary closeness
2. Unimportant
1. Not desirable.
