Nearly  80  years ago, Ernest McCluskie, an Indian of Scottish descent  established  McCluskieganj in what is now the eastern state of  Jharkhand, hoping to  attract Anglo-Indians anxious about the impending  demise of the British  empire. Today, the few colonial bungalows still  standing are in  disrepair, the local economy survives on the back of a  single school,  and McCluskieganj's aging residents say the "chhotta  England" (little  England) they grew up in has vanished forever. </blockquote>
