Who are the Anglo-Indians?

A mixed community of Anglo Indians started taking shape when the European traders from Portugal, Denmark, France and Britain started marrying the Indian women. Their numbers rapidly increased when Europeans started settling down and the European women also started mingling with Indian men. Many of them left the country when India became independent leaving behind their children who are surviving to this day as the Anglo-Indian community with a few special privileges like a direct representation in the state legislature and the Parliament. (It has been dropped lately 2020). A good number of Anglo-Indians with British roots are Protestants and others are still staunch Roman Catholics. Thank God, there the chosen in this community too.
