Dad Comments on the Video: Father and Son

"Unlike the rest of the tens of millions of people who search for a dream, Warren Brown has his in significant themes and super-creative plots largely seen in his outstanding works of fiction; he also excels when pitched into the reality world of non-fiction. Warren’s artistic form in writing is incredible – he will soon be on the book hit-list. Brown’s video clip ‘Father and Son’ is a welcome tribute to his mentor. Warren Brown has ‘Pulitzer-finesse’. Well done, son."

Melvyn Brown. 15 January 2018. Calcutta.

Anglo-Indians on IPR License




Anglo-Indians are the only English speaking, Christian community in India, whose Mother tongue is English and who have a Western lifestyle in the sub-continent of India. Anglo-Indians originated during the Colonial period in India. When British soldiers and traders had affairs or married Indian women their offspring came to be known as Anglo-Indians or Eurasians in history.

The Calcutta Christmas Visit 2013

I have just returned after a Christmas visit to Calcutta. We flew by Emirates Airline and changed at Dubai before flying to Kolkata.


Dubai has a large and impressive looking airport with a big selection of shops for Duty free section to browse through and to buy from as passengers pass through.

My wife and I had a great time celebrating Christmas and the New Year with family and friends.I got a chance to visit a number of places of interest in the city.

The New Kolkata is growing and developing on the fringes of the Old Calcutta, with multi-storeyed buildings for offices, residences, industrial estates and a growing number of Malls.My wife and I had time to spend time with our two Godsons Ashton and Logan Domingo. I had an opportunity to spend valuable time with my Dad Melvyn Brown, to meet old friends and to taste some of the culinary delights of the city, like Moghlai parathas, Aloo (Potato) rolls, chicken liver rolls, puchkas and a variety of Biryanis. We had a Christmas and New Year worth remembering. I even had enough photos and videos from our trip to make three short films based on Logan's Birthday party, time spent with Dad and a movie on our Calcutta trip.

Anglo-Indians "Blending Into" Indian Society

Anglo-Indians in India have no alternative but to adapt and try to blend into Indian culture. Anglo-Indians are timid of standing out in Indian society. Anglo-Indian women ( like my Mum and my wife and all the other women of the community had to start wearing the salwar kameez) were also open to humiliation and ridicule by Indian men if they wore blouses, dresses and skirts. I recall several incidents of having elbowed out of the way, Indian men who would come out of their way to walk into my mother and my wife. Wearing the salwar kameez and trying to speak the lingo is just one of the ways which Anglos in India have to adapt in order to "blend in" to Indian society. Anglo-Indians in India and abroad are nervous of revealing their humble origins. There are still large numbers of Anglo-Indians in India and all across the globe who are still proud of being Anglo-Indian(in their own homes and in groups) and the race is not dying out, it is just disappearing from public view. I call Anglo-Indians, "The Secret Race" for this reason, which is also why the book has been ridiculed by many who insist that the book does not do the community justice. I grew up in India, my Dad is a well known personality so I do know exactly what I am writing about. The writer of the article definitely needs to get to know more Anglo-Indian families in India.
