Who are the Anglo-Indians?

Anglo-Indians are the mixed race, which originated in India during the British Raj, or the Colonial period in India. The British went to India as Traders in 1600 and left India after ruling it for over 400 years, in 1947. British soldiers married or had affairs with Indian women and their offspring were called Eurasians or Anglo-Indians.

I have called Anglo-Indians the Secret Race, as not many of them are found today In India. Thousands of Anglo-Indians have immigrated to countries like Canada,England, Spain and the United States of America.

Anglo-Indians can be easily spotted as the "Asians who have English names and who speak perfect English, without a strong Indian accent".All Anglo-Indians are Christians, but all Christians are not Anglo-Indians.

A few popular Anglo-Indians are Alistair McGowan,George Orwell,Rudyard Kipling,Norman Hutchinson, Peter Sarsted,Cliff Richard and Englebert Humperdinck.

Melvyn Brown, in Calcutta ,is known as the Chronicler of the Anglo-Indians community worldwide, having self published a large number of books and newsletters on the Anglo-indian race, which is slowly vanishing into the annals of history.
