Madras Government Museum Bulletin, Anthropology Eurasians Of Madras And Malabar; Note On Tattooing; Malagasy-Nias-Dravidians; Toda Petition Volume Vol. 2nd, No. 2

About the Book:-The author reveals that the name of the first Eurasian has not, in like manner, been handed down to posterity. The term Eurasian (Eur-asian) may, after the definition in ‘ Hobson-Jobson be summed up as a modern name for persons of mixed European and Native blood, devised as being more euphemistic than half-caste or half- breed, and more precise than East Indian. It is not generally known that the Anglo-Eurasian owes his origin, in great measure, to the direct influence of pepper. The problem of a Eurasian army is, therefore, no new one, but one which was dealt with long ago in a practical manner, such as is no longer possible in these more advanced times. The Eurasians form but a very small proportion of the community, for there is only one Eurasian in every 1,337 of the population of the Madras Presidency, and it is more than probable that a considerable proportion of those returned as Eurasians are in reality pure Natives who have embraced the Christian religion, taken an English or Portuguese name, and adopted the European dress and mode of living. The book is the product of extensive study of this race. Volume three (originally numbered Vol. 2 No. 2) deals with Eurasians of Madras and Malabar; a note on tattooing; Malagasy-Nias-Dravidians; and a Toda petition. This volume has 10 plates, and was first published in 1898.
