The concluding Chapter 10 pulls the threads of this thesis
together. There are six main conclusions:
- Identification of new groups of Anglo-Indians;
- Anglo-Indian associations should create a

- The researcher's theory-practice model for
Anglo-Indian schools to eliminate

- Anglo-Indian University Colleges affiliated
to Indian Universities should be built.
This thesis also makes six recommendations in relation to
these conclusions. Suggestions are also made for future
research into the Anglo-Indian community. (14)
