It lies, a varying social fact, all over India, thick in the great cities, thickest in Calcutta, where the conditions of climate and bread-wining are most suitable; where, moreover, Eurasian charities are most numerous. Wherever Europeans have come aud gone, these people have sprung up in weedy testimony of them\u2014these people who do not go, who have received somewhat in the feeble inheritance of their blood that makes it possible for them to live and die in India. Nothing will ever exterminate Eurasia; it clings to the sun and the soil, and is marvelously propagative within its own borders. There is no remote chance of its ever being reabsorbed by either of its original elements; the prejudices of both Europeans and natives are tar too vigorous to permit of much intermarriage with a <em><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wiktionary.org\/wiki\/yat#English\" target=\"_blank\">jat<\/a><\/em> of people who are neither the one nor the other. Occasionally an up-country planter, predestined to a remote and &#8220;jungly&#8221; existence, comes down to <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kolkata\" target=\"_blank\">Calcutta<\/a> and draws his bride from the upper circles of Eurasia\u2014this not so often now as formerly. Occasionally, too, a young shopman with the red of Scotland fresh in his cheeks is carried off by his landlady&#8217;s daughter; while <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tommy_Atkins\" target=\"_blank\">Tommy Atkins<\/a> fall a comparatively easy prey. The sight of a native with a half-caste wife is much rarer, for there Eurasian as well as native antipathy comes into operation. The whole conscious inclination of Eurasian life, in habits, tastes, religion, and, most of all in ambition, is toward the European and away from the native standards. \u2014<em>Popular Science Monthly<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Mixed Race of India Sacramento Daily Union Volume 84, Number 71 1892-11-11 page 4, column 3 Source: California Digital Newspaper Collection Eurasia has no boundaries.
