national language Hindi as the second language and six
State/Regional languages as the second∕third language.
There were seven languages which were selected. They were
Hindi, Marathi, Telugu, Bengali, Khasi, Tamil, Kannada and
|
Malayalam. |
These state∕regional languages helped to |
narrow down the number of schools and states to be visited.
Cluster sampling was used to select a specific number of
schools in selected areas.
The next section outlines the itinerary.
7. CONSTRAINTS IN PLANNING THE ITINERARY: The itinerary
depended on the number of positive replies received from
Anglo-Indians and non Anglo-Indians who showed an interest
in the research. Letters were written to all Anglo-Indians
and non Anglo-Indians in Maharashtra, Kerala, Karnataka,
|
Tamil Nadu, |
West Bengal, Meghalaya and New Delhi. Haryana |
|
State was |
only included in the itinerary after the |
researcher's arrival in New Delhi.
The Anglo-Indians who lived in Haryana had suggested to the
leader of their group who lived in New Delhi that they were
|
interested |
in participating in the survey. Eight Indian |
|
States and |
their capitals were visited: |
