Anglo-Indian Policies

Anglo-Indian policies refer to the regulations and arrangements made by the British government regarding the Anglo-Indian community—people of mixed Indian and European descent—in British India. These policies aimed to define their legal status, rights, and employment opportunities, often encouraging their participation in administrative roles. Over time, policies shifted from promoting their distinct identity to integration with mainstream Indian society, influencing their social status and political representation. These policies were significant in shaping the community's development during British rule and the transition to independent India.
