‘The History of Anglo-Indians’: Keith Butler and Harry MacLure chronicle 500 years in a graphic novel

Keith Butler's graphic novel, illustrated by Harry MacLure, vividly recounts the 500-year journey of the Anglo-Indian community, starting with Vasco da Gama’s arrival in Calicut and extending to modern times. This work not only highlights the unique cultural blend but also underscores the often-overlooked history of Anglo-Indians, who played significant roles in colonial and post-colonial India. By merging Butler's narrative with MacLure’s detailed artwork, the graphic novel breathes life into a history that has largely been preserved through oral traditions rather than formal education, offering a fresh perspective on this significant yet underrepresented community.
