After his return to Scotland in 1812 Alexander Walker continued his interest in Indian affairs. His former colleagues kept him in touch with events in the Bombay Presidency, particularly in Kutch, and Walker himself communicated with the Directors of the East India Company on Indian matters within his direct experience. His own literary activities, although little was ever published, brought him into contact with linguists and historians of British India, notably with James Mill. However the most important feature of this period is the commencement, in 1815, of the long series of friendly and revealing exchanges between B S Jones of the India Board and Walker about the East India Company's policy in India, exchanges which were to continue until Walker's death.
