Anglo-Indians share a common religious belief. They are
separated by race. So,
... Anglo-Indian schools ought to be managed
by Anglo-Indians. (13)
Nevertheless, if groups and associations of Anglo-Indians
do not create a united and cohesive front, there is the
distinct risk that Anglo-Indian schools will eventually be
managed by Indian Christians. Anglo-Indians would lose
control of the most valuable asset which they have a right
to administer and manage, which bears their ethnic name,
and which could be used to reinforce their own cultural
image.
The next section offers an analysis of the answers and
gives a considered estimate of the size of the Anglo-Indian
community.
2.3. Respondents' estimate of size of the Anglo-Indian

study, only ten cities had respondents who were willing to

two cities which are missing in Table 1 (14) and Table 2,
on pages 211-3, are Mysore and Shillong, because the
respondents did not answer the question.
