This article reveals the uneasy continuum (and gaps) between Rudyard Kipling's canonical Raj novel, Kim, and I. Allan Sealy's The TrotterNama (1988), the text that maps the history of AngloIndians. The article enumerates the principal themes of AngloIndian fiction before demonstrating the way The TrotterNama rewrites and resituates Kim, challenging his view of AngloIndia and his assumptions about race, and ultimately repositioning it as part of, rather than the principal work in, the Raj canon. 2008 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC
