Who are the Anglo-Indians?
Anglo-Indians are people who have mixed Indian and British ancestry and the term is sometimes used in the West. Anglo-Indian, Dictionary.com.
In a general sense, they refer to any tangible or intangible entity with both British and Indian origin or heritage.
The term, however, was also used in common parlance in Britain during the colonial era to refer to those people (such as the hunter-naturalist Jim Corbett) who were of strictly British descent, but were born and raised in India, usually because their parents were serving in the colonial administration or armed forces; Stark, Herbert Alick. Hostages To India: OR The Life Story of the Anglo Indian Race. Third Edition. London: The Simon Wallenberg Press: Vol 2: Anglo Indian Heritage Books "Anglo-Indian" in this sense was synonymous with "domiciled British". The British resident in India used the term "Eurasians" for people of mixed European and Indian descent (cf. George Orwell's Burmese Days).
Finally, the term should not be confused with the similar-sounding "Indo-Anglian," an adjective applied to literature in English produced by Indian authors.Anthony, Frank. Britain's Betrayal in India: The Story of the Anglo Indian Community. Second Edition. London:The Simon Wallenberg Press, 2007 Pages 18- 19, 42, 45..
The Anglo-Indian community in its modern sense is a distinct, small minority community originating in India. They consist of people from mixed British and Indian ancestry whose native language is English. An Anglo-Indian's British ancestry was usually bequeathed paternally.
Article 366(2) of the Indian Constitution defines an Anglo-Indian as "a person whose father or any of whose other male progenitors in the male line is or was of European descent but who is domiciled within the territory of India and is or was born within such territory of parents habitually resident therein and not established there for temporary purposes only"."Constitution of India" "Treaty Bodies Database - Document - State Party Report" United Nations Human Rights Website. April 29, 1996.
This definition also embraces the descendents of the Indians from the old Portuguese colonies of both the Coromandel and Malabar Coasts, who joined the East India Company as mercenaries and brought their families with them See Stark, op. cit.. Similarly the definition includes mestiços (mixed Portuguese and Indian) of Goa and people of Indo-French, and Indo-Dutch descent Dover, Cedric. Cimmerii or Eurasians and Their Future: An Anglo Indian Heritage Book. London: Simon Wallenberg Press, 2007. Pages 62 - 63 .
Anglo-Indians formed a significantly small portion of the minority community in India before independence, but today more live outside India than within it. Their numbers in India have dwindled significantly as most emigrated to the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and, to a lesser extent, Canada and the United States.
