Social anthropologist Dr Robyn Andrews from Massey University has been awarded a $20,000 grant for her research project 'The Invisible Indian: The Anglo-Indian Diaspora in New Zealand'.

Anglo-Indian is a subculture of offspring born to an Indian mother and a European father - but not the other way around. Dr Andrews has set up a Facebook page to make contact with Anglo-Indians in New Zealand.
