Hostages to India: Or the Life Story of the Anglo Indian Race - Gyan Books

About The Book: Hostages to India: The Life Story of the Anglo‑Indian Race by Herbert Alick Stark (1926) is a sweeping history of the Anglo‑Indian community over approximately 500 years. It explores their origins under British colonial rule, detailing how their identity was shaped by social, legal, and racial challenges. Stark documents moments of hope and prosperity but also describes disenfranchisement, marginalisation, and struggles with colonial policy. Through narrative, legal petitions, and personal stories, he portrays a community caught between two worlds—often treated as “hostages” by the colonial system.
