  Books; Mutiny's Bounty
According to Allen, "People in the Punjab would say to their children, 'Be quiet or Nicholson will get you!'" Allen was born in Kanpur 60 years ago and lived in Assam until he was seven with his father, a stern military man turned political officer.
Allen, the sixth generation of his family to have served in India, explains the genesis of Soldier Sahibs: "I have this forebear, a great, great uncle called John Nicholson.
Allen's father was typical of a breed of Brits, "A sad rootless generation of people who loved India in the abstract but not Indians.

 Cigar Aficionado | Archives | India Allen: A Cigar lover
India Allen--1988 Playboy Playmate of the Year; sex-symbol actress and producer of erotic movies; daughter of an Anglican minister; dedicated churchgoer and faithful volunteer; five-foot-eleven-inch, 134-pound, 37-25-35 beauty--exudes the essence of modern femininity: sexuality and seductiveness wrapped around a core of independence and individuality.
Indeed, if India Allen were herself a cigar, she would be the top of the line: a Cuban double corona, elongated and slender, luscious and strong, with an intense flavor of spice.
The name India, she says, is her actual given name: it is popular in England and in the South, and her parents "just liked it." Her high-school days, she says, were "totally normal." Her first boyfriend was a football star who won an athletic scholarship to Stanford University but was injured in a game.

Allen claims he never, ever said that word, which is enough to make a giraffe laugh.
In a written statement, Allen said, ''Some may find it odd that I have not probed deeply into the details of my family history, but it's a fact.'' In addition to being a federal and state governmental leader, Allen has degrees in both law and history, usually probative fields.
Allen's father, the legendary George Allen, was the Washington head coach from 1971 to 1977.

 voiceless - George Allen's Political Blind Spot
The recent incident in which Sen. George Allen referred to a Virginia-born, Indian American campaign worker as "Macaca" and welcomed him to America might have provided an opportunity for Asian Americans to raise public awareness of the perpetual foreigner stereotype.
Allen's subsequent letter of apology, however, shows just how deeply voiceless Asian Americans are on this and other political issues.
To Allen's credit, he scheduled meetings with community leaders and offered a direct apology, instead of the more common non-apology (e.g., "We're sorry if anyone was offended, because that was not our intention.").

 UKTyping - Transcription Typing Data Processing and Data Input Services
At the other end of the spectrum, all is reportedly not running smoothly with magic circle firm Allen and Overy’s much publicised India offshoring venture either, with the City firm said to be failing to meet the target it set itself in 2003 of outsourcing 80% of its document management to an Indian company.
India has proved popular because graduate-level staff can be employed and the time difference allows for work to be turned around overnight.
Allen and Overy's head of operational services, Steven Chernikeeff, says he also spent much time with various parts of the business to ensure they were happy with what was being proposed.

 India Today
For instance, Allen talks about the desecration of the Mahabodhi temple by Sasanka, an illustration, one supposes, of the "destructive role of Brahmin zealots in the overthrow of Buddhist viharas".
This is as shocking for some to read as it would be to Allen if England was described as one of the tribes that inhabited the European continent in the 19th century.
In India, a sense of this can be had even from 19th century British accounts, such as a conversation that was recorded by the British Baptist missionary, John Chamberlain.

Allen (Tales from the Dark Continent) weaves an engrossing tale of the process by which some of Britain's brightest military men, civil servants and employees of the powerful East India Company began in the late 18th century to uncover both the existence of Buddhism and its enormous impact on ancient Indian history.
Allen's story is rich enough in character and incident to prove almost unmanageable at times-I found myself assembling my own character-list on the inside flyleaf.
Allen was born in India to a family with a long record of service to British India and has published several other books dealing with India.

Allen kept India's goal in 3 consecutive Olympics (1928, 1932, 1936) and conceded only 3 goals in the 3 Olympics to help India win 3 gold medals!
The game became popular in India when the British army regiments introduced it to local soldiers.
It was the start of India's domination of the sport, an era that ended only after the emergence of Pakistan as a major opponent in the late 1940s.

 A Guide to Asian American Empowerment - George Allen's Political Blind Spot
Some communities are effectively in a political blind spot, where not only their speech, but the very existence of their voice, is obscured and marginalized.
To Allen's credit, he scheduled meetings with community leaders and offered an unreserved apology, instead of the more common non-apology: "We're sorry if anyone was offended, because that was not our intention." He clearly understood the seriousness of the political problem he had created for himself.
In conflating the concerns of the Indian American community with the state of U.S. foreign policy toward the nation of India, Allen repeats the very same error for which he is attempting to apologize.
