Anglo-Indians are persons who have descended from a mix of British and Indian parentage.
Anglo Indians come under the minority community in India. However Anglo Indian numbers have dwindled significantly as most have emigrated to United Kingdom|UK, United State U.S.A, Australia and New Zealand.
Anglo Indians or Anglos as they are called, have small numbers in the following cities. Mumbai, Kanpur, Kolkata, Lucknow, Poona, Chennai, Jhansi, Nagpur, Mysore, Madras, Bangalore and Delhi. Most Anglo Indians during pre-independence worked for the Indian Railways.
The Anglo Indian community is the only one that has its own representative appointed in the Indian Parliament - The Lok Sabha (Lower House). This is done since the community has no native state to call 'home'.
Anglo Indians are usually recognised by their light skin, fair hair and British surnames.
