in India Delhi: Chanakya Publications (pp.9 and 101) In
1911 there were 100,420 Anglo-Indians. The Anglo-Indians
have only been included in a Census for fifty years, from
1911 to 1961. Since 1961, the Anglo-Indian community has
not held a census. Each association accounts for their own
members, that is, Anglo-Indians pay a membership fee to
belong to an Association which then recognises their right
to be called an Anglo-Indian.
Some Anglo-Indians resign from the All-India Anglo-Indian
Association and join another Association. (See Profile No.
582) Some Anglo-Indians do not register with any
association. (See Profile Nos.57-63) There are groups of
Anglo-Indians who fulfil the criteria as Anglo-Indians
according to the definition in the Constitution of India
but do not classify themselves as Anglo-Indians. (see
Profile Nos. 586-590) These are the Anglo-Indians in
Shillong who belong to the Khasi Scheduled Tribe. The
Keralite Anglo-Indians are not accepted by the All-Indian
Anglo-Indian Association because the Keralite Anglo-Indians
belong to a group called Other Backward Classes. (See
Profile Nos. 170-202) The researcher had lived in India
until 1973. She was aware of the problems in the
community. She had also conducted a correspondence with
Anglo-Indians from various associations.

AMERICAN JOURNAL OF SOCIOLOGY Vol.40 pp.165-179 Illinois:
The University of Chicago Press (p.168) In 1921 there were
113,090 Anglo-Indians. The 1921 census stated that there
was always doubt cast on the actual figure of Anglo-Indians
and domiciled Europeans in India. The Anglo-Indians
returned themselves as Europeans and the Indian Christians
claimed to be Anglo-Indians. Sir Henry Gidney was the
leader of the Anglo-Indians at this time. See Chapter 4
for a description of this outstanding leader of the Anglo-
Indian community. Gidney stated that there were at least
40,000 Anglo-Indians who had classified themselves as
Europeans. Gidney's statement appeared in the Report of
the Indian Statutory Commission XVI (p.313); see also,
Census of India 1921, I Part I (p.231); By 1947, there
were 100,000 Anglo-Indians. This number excluded those
Anglo-Indians who lived in the Princely States. By 1951,
there were 111,637 Anglo-Indians throughout India. In 1961
there were 223,781. Roy, W.T. (1974) 'Hostages to
