Anglo Indians: Ethnic Minority Originating in India
Anglo Indians are an ethnic minority originating in India, but can also be found in England and other former English colonies. They are the result of European colonists, workers, and officials mixing with the Indian population during the English colonial period. Today, the government of India officially recognizes them as a native ethnic minority. According to the Government of India Act of 1935, an Anglo-Indian is “a person whose father or any of whose other male progenitors in the male line is or was of European descent but who is a native of India.” Most Anglo Indians have English names, but some also have Irish, Welsh, Scottish, and Portuguese family names due to being employed by the British East India Company during the colonial period.
In this video, we attempt to give an overview of their history and culture, though this by no means includes everything there is to know about them.
