Anglo-Indians Return to Glory Community

Anglo-Indians Return to Glory Community Profile by Warren Brown

Slogan: Anglo-Indians Are An Unbreakable Community

History: Anglo-Indians are a minority mixed-race (British-European and Indian) community, which originated in India during the period of European and British rule. The community was result of the progeny of European and British men with Indian women. The offspring of these unions were referred to as Eurasians and Anglo-Indians.

Social Presence: Anglo-Indians have been and continue to be an integral part of the Indian nation for over four hundred years. The community of Anglo-Indians have been a vital part of the Indian work force having served in the various sectors of Indian industry, as Teachers in the field of Education, Train drivers in the field of Transport, Secretaries for Multinational Corporations, as Sales and Banking Executives, sport persons in the sphere of sporting and in so many other fields of endeavour.

Present: The Anglo-Indian community has now come under threat when its representation of two seats in Indian Parliament has been removed.

This action by the Indian Government has left an indelible scar on the minds and in the hearts of all community members in India.

There are still a large proportion of Anglo-Indians present in India to this day. This is however not the view of the Indian government.

In order to verify the total numbers of Anglo-Indians present in India today, it would make sense if the government took the time to take an authentic audit of community numbers with the assistance of the several Anglo-Indian leaders, clubs, associations and organizations which are still very present in India.

Plan of Action: this is the time for all organizations, leaders, associations and clubs to rally the whole Anglo-Indian community in India and abroad to make the presence of the community known in India, as well as to bring this to the attention of the Indian government. The community needs it proper representation in Indian Parliament, as it ensures the political existence of the community as noted in the Constitution of India.

Melvyn Brown and the Anglo-Indian Community

ANGLO-INDIANS : A COMMUNITY BY CHOICE by Melvyn Brown

From railway cantonments to army camps and police barracks, the Anglo-Indian held a proud and praiseworthy position in all of them- not forgetting the sports arena. Today, the Anglo-Indian is a microscopic community. Scattered to the far corners of the globe, in a quest to improve their lives. The passage of India's fifty-three years of Independence has still left the Anglo-Indian with a misguided notion of their destiny.

Anglo-Indian history began more than three hundred years ago. The beginning and development stems from the founding of the British settlement at Fort St.George, Madras. We should , however, consider the three aspects of the term " Anglo-Indian", which eventually figures in the community's literature one way or the other.

The designation "Anglo-Indian" is also applied to the resident British subjects during the days of the "Raj" in India. The second application of the term "Anglo-Indian" would be towards the children born of English and European parentage during the "Raj" era. In the third and present day understanding, the term is used to signify those men and women born of British , or European and Indian parentage, in the pre and post years of the Colonial rule in India.

Multi- Cultural Anglo-Indians

People who grew up in the city from the 50s to the 80s would vouch for the ubiquitous presence of the Anglo Indians.

In India, Anglo-Indian culture is fading fast | Seattle Times Newspaper

Breakfast tea from a cup and saucer, Agatha Christie murder mysteries and Mills & Boon romances, a weekly visit from the hairdresser who sets a dowager's delicate hair in a 1940s-style wave. Sometimes a tailor comes to make copies of the garments beloved by Anglo-Indian women of a certain age. Floral tea dresses, for example.
