The last web host started to become unreliable so rather than coninue and take an unnecessary chance, the Anglo-Indian World website has been transferred to a new host.

The expected few minutes took a bit longer than anticipated due to a rainstorm disrupting the internet connection so a few minor settings couldn't be performed while shifting servers.

Everything should be back to normal now.

On the bottom right of http://angloindianworld.com there is a calendar for events.

I've added the date of Easter Sunday.

Here's the link to the Facebook group related to the website

Up-dated Words:

The site was originally started in the name of angloindianblogs.com for reading blogs by Anglo-Indians who are descendants of British/Europeans who once lived in India.

Site visitors can add comments (on every page except pure document pages) and write their own wiki style scrap pages (using the write menu above.) The site has invisible spam moderation now.

If you would like to see your blog appear in the river of blog posts, do add a comment on the blogs or singup and login to post in the forums.
