摘　　要：在军事、政治、经济等利益的推动下,英国殖民者在印度修建了庞大的铁路系统,这是大不列颠物质文明与帝国权力的充分体现。印度人接受了这种技术,认为铁路或可使广袤的、分裂的印度成为一个统一的国家。不过在铁路系统中,由殖民者男性与印度土著妇女结合所孕育的盎格鲁-印度人一直占据着重要的职位。这个族群坚持认同父辈的血统与身份,虔诚地维护英军的殖民统治,其兴衰见证了英殖民者的历史。文章希望以英国作家约翰·马斯特斯的小说《宝云尼枢纽站》作为代表,来分析英印人在追忆欧洲血统与融入印度社会间的身份认同尴尬,以及在印度铁路线上殖民与反殖民力量的冲突。Promoted by military,political and economic benefits,British colonists built a large system of railway in India,which fully embodied the material civilization and the imperial power of Great Britain.Indian people accepted this technology and hold this belief that one day railways would make the vast and divided India a unified nation.It was the Anglo-Indians,the offspring of male colonists and Indian female original inhabitants that hold those important positions in the railway system.This ethnic group reverently identified with paternal lineages and supported British colonial domination,then its rise and decline witnessed the history of British colonization.This paper is going to use Bhowani Junction,a novel composed by Masters John,to analyze the Anglo-Indians'identity embarrassment between retrospection of European blood relationship and integration into Indian society,and to present the conflicts between the colonial and the anti-colonial forces on the railway lines.
