Graph[edit]
- I have struck thru the immediately following contrib, for its offensively worded 1st 'graph, and its either racist or unspeakably clumsy 2nd 'graph; IMO it is so clewlessly irrelevant that its complete deprecation via removal could do no harm. --Jerzy·t 30 June 2005 14:19 (UTC)
Anglo Indian history[edit]
I added a great deal to the history section, which seemed to be quite empty.
I made two small edits:
The "Portuguese" in British India were described as European immigrants (or European Indians), whereas, in reality, "Portuguese" was an officially sanctioned name for any Anglo-Indian with Hispanic blood.
Also they were described as just having British fathers. This was not always so. The most famous Anglo-Indian poet, Henry Derozio, had an English mother.

Left out?[edit]
If "British Indians" are "citizens of the United Kingdom (UK) whose ancestral roots lie in India", and "Anglo-Indians" are " those with mixed Indian and British (specifically English) ancestry and people of British/English descent born or living in India", then where are the American Indians who are or were citizens of the United Kingdom? (e.g., John Wareagle)

Anglo-Indian as reference to people of general European descent[edit]
There needs to be prominent discussion here of the term “Anglo Indian” being used to describe Indians of European descent as well (which is what I believe the Indian Constitution describes them as).
A lot of the people implicitly referred to in this article (e.g. mention of Anglo Indian Cardinals) would only classify as Anglo Indian under this more expansive definition, as they are technically Luso-Indian. In general, there is a high level of identification among Indians with Portuguese surnames to the Anglo-Indian label. Editorrandom2124 (talk) 21:22, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
