This is an epistolary manuscript; each chapter a letter addressed to the author's grandchildren about their Indian heritage and other matters. It deals with ancestry, history of India, geography of India. It deals with the colonisation of India by the British and explains how this mixed race of people came about. It is a family history and contains the author's philosophical ideas that have developed through life and experience. It is a book of information and enlightenment for the author's young family and hopefully others in similar situations; a book for the young mixed blood generation of today and hopefully for others that may follow.
