(8) Allen, С. (1977) op.cit., (pp.90-1). Anglo-Indian
schools were built in the plains and in the hill-stations.
The hill-station schools were situated in the foothills of
the Himalayas in the north and the Nilgiris in the south.
The hill-stations at Murree, Simla, Mussoorie, Naini Tal,
Darjeeling and Shillong were in the foothills of the
Himalayas. Ootacamund and Kodaikanal were two hill-
Stations in the Nilgiris or Blue Mountains. The schools
were elitist and reflected the exclusive and isolationist
social practices of the British in India. For further

Putney, London: British Association for Cemeteries in
South Asia. This book was based on anecdotal accounts by
students of Anglo-Indian schools. It made references to
the elitist, exclusive hill-station schools in Murree,
Simla, Darjeeling etc.,, which were built by the European
missionaries in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries for
the children of wealthy European colonialists,
Anglo-Indians and Indians. These Anglo-Indian schools
followed a tradition of the British public school and were
built in the foothills of the Himalayas which exuded
comfort and the carefree, camaraderie of the rich. The
"old tie" or in this case the "old school topee" (Topee:
hat) , network of upper and middle-class Colonial India
continues in these privileged Anglo-Indian schools in the
foothills of the Himalayas in the north of India, and the
Nilgiris in the south of India.

(10) In 1990, there were a number of elitist Anglo-Indian
schools built in the plains. The field study interviewed
students in the Frank Anthony School in Bangalore, Christ
Church Anglo-Indian School in Bombay and Madras. Loreto
Convent, Middleton Row and Sealdah.in Calcutta. There were
very few Anglo-Indians in these schools.
