The Anglo-Indian Community

The Anglo-Indian community comprises people of mixed Indian and European descent, primarily originating during British rule in India. They often speak English and have unique cultural traditions blending Indian and Western influences. Historically, they served as intermediaries between the British and Indian populations, contributing to education, administration, and commerce. The community is recognized in India for its distinct identity, with some members holding government and military positions. Today, they number around 50,000 and actively preserve their heritage through cultural organizations, while also integrating into broader Indian society.
