A little about Blair

Hi there

This is Blair and welcome to Blair's world. I am an American originally from India and belonged to the Anglo-Indian community (a hybrid community of English and Indian heritage). After living and working in India for 30+ years, my wife Ellen and I migrated to the USA in 1976 and have been here since. I spent the last 25 years working as a manufacturing manager in various corporations, and after retiring in 1999, I joined Polytechnic University in Brooklyn, as an Industry Professor of Manufacturing and Industrial Engineering. I now am only doing part time teaching

Some years ago (1998) we set up a charity (CTR) to help poor Anglo-Indians in India. Today we have branches in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, London, Toronto and NJ, USA. We provide monthly pensions to over 300 seniors and sponsor the education of over 180 children. Check out our website at http://www.blairrw.org/ctr/index.php

We have also set up a publishing enterprise, CTR books, to record the culture and way of life of the Anglo-Indian community before it becomes extinct. CTR books have published 5 books - Anglo Indians, Haunting India, Voices on the Verandah, The Way We Were and The Way We Are - with a sixth 'The Anglo-Indian Woman' due for publication in July 2010. Details of the books and how to obtain them may also be seen on the CTR website above

I live in an Adult community (finally have become adult), with my wife Elllen of 46+ years, in Monroe Township, NJ, near Princeton University and play a lot of golf, but my passion remains administering and growing CTR
