Abstract
Anglo-Indian community is among the minority communities
recognized by the Indian constitution. This mixed-race community has a rich
history of nearly 500 years. The history of the Anglo-Indian community begins from
the first European settlement in Bengal. The community found a new home in
Darjeeling after this region was acquired by the British. This paper aims to find
out a vivid picture of the Anglo-Indian community in Darjeeling and makes a study
of the educational institutions that were established for the European and Anglo-
Indian children. This paper also aims to find out why Darjeeling was chosen for
establishing institutions such as schools and orphanages for European and Anglo-
Indian children. This paper also looks into the active role and involvement of the
Christian Missionaries for all-around development of Anglo-Indians. Missionaries
also played an important role in establishing Girl’s schools.
