A close analysis of some of the works of leading and obscure Anglo-Indian women writers, this study demonstrates the convergence of sociological and historical processes, which caught their imagination, shaped their identity and outlook.
After the revolt of 1857 as the representatives of the British Empire, claiming the privileges of the British race, the British in India were searching for their cultural and literary space within an imperial ideology. The colonial 'encounter' in India, despite their overriding ideology of British sovereignty affected them in various ways. The 'Indian encounter' led them to define themselves as Anglo Indians.
In my study I have used the term 'British Indian writings' to denote and emphasize the imperial ideology of the British Empire to which Anglo-Indian writers repeatedly owed their allegiance. It was during their stay in India that they produced these writings.
