The symbolic front cover encapsulates the British and Indian flags, a poignant representation for Anglo-Indians whose personal journeys reflect lifestyles layered with aspects of class, religion, power and freedom.
The book is divided into three main parts, a history of the Anglo-Indian, personal expressions of identity from Anglo-Indians from the UK, India, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA, and a conclusion about how this race of people contribute in today's society.
Full page colour portraits illustrate anecdotal life experiences, often with a surprising twist - a demonstration of the power of photography and the subtlety of the written word. Combined, the two genres produce a thought provoking insight into a community that has so often been misrepresented. Each individual has been given an opportunity to express in their own words the essence of being Anglo-Indian, an undertaking met with passion and integrity.
"Cultural identities are forged through a combination of shared histories that transcend a time and a place,"says Anglo-Indian author and photographer Dorothy S. Dady.
"Who is to say what the future holds, whether the recent resurgence and new found pride of the community can be sustained? Only time will tell... one thing is for sure: The Anglo-Indian story first germinated in India in the 17th Century but Scattered Seeds proves it continues to bloom gloriously around the world."
