Who exactly are Anglo Indians in India?

Rowena8482

during the days of the Raj, Anglo Indians were English children, born and raised in India because their father was in the Colonial Service. More recently the term is used to describe people of mixed British and Indian descent http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo_indian Dec 30 08, 2:28 PM

Note also: The Anglo-Indian community is the only Indian community that has its own representatives nominated to the Lok Sabha (Lower House) in India's Parliament. This right was secured from Nehru by Frank Anthony, the first and long time president of the All India Anglo-Indian Association. The community is represented by two members. This is done because the community has no native state of its own. States like Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Bihar, Karnataka and Kerala also have a nominated member each in their respective State Legislatures. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo_indian#Political Dec 31 08, 1:35 PM
