Did you know that the British East India Company promoted marriages between Britishers and Indians during the 1600s? This gave rise to a lesser known community in India known as the Anglo Indians. I explain their history, their rise, how they fought against the oppression by British and how they went on to get reservation in the parliament of India.

    I know of an Anglo Indian friend who was working in the Gulf in a hotel in the 80s. A British lady said that in India there is so much poverty that beggars keep touching, when begging money. This friend gave a fitting reply, "We have to thank the Britishers for that". He took up for India.
  • My grandfather was a Britishzer , married with adivasi. My dad was an Anglo Indian , married with Naga. And I'm so mixed 😅
  • Im an anglo indian, from Kolkata, living in Perth. Thank you Dhruv for sharing this info,
  • My father was working in railways and we were living in railway colony. So I had a lot of opportunity to mingle with Anglo Indian community A peaceful, well behaved community, retaining it's own culture, language, dress , religion etc. I loved the community, and indebted to them for all the help I received from them. Most of community members have migrated to Australia and other countries and I hardly get a chance to meet them now.I really miss them . But old memories of my childhood association keeps coming every now and then.
  • my great grandfather was from Ireland then part of the UK. He came here as a laborer in around 1912. He married an Indian then my father and grandfather too married Indians.

  • @ghatti420
    Thank you for a very informative, well done video! I am of Anglo Indian descent and do remember the community in Bombay being large and remember the Christmas events it put on. Lots of music, dancing and lots of mujja. Mixed marriages are common now, the communities have dwindled, the heyday has passed into a memory that is fading.
