(9) Kincaid, D. (1973) British Social Life in India, 1608-
1937 London: Routledge & Kegan Paul (p.324); Anglo-India
had been described as "two widely-separated classes - the
officials and the mercantile community -" (p.15) This
description eliminated the "mixed community" of Anglo-
Indians. The term community refers to the Anglo-Indian who
shared a common identity, cultural criteria and group
consciousness that separated them from the European
colonialists and the Indians. Thus, the term Anglo-Indian
had included the British. See also, Moreno, H.W. (1923)
op. cit., (p.789). The term Anglo-Indian was first
described in 1826. British settlers in India had been
called Domiciled Europeans and/or Anglo-Indians. See also,
Abel, E. op. cit., (pp.5-6)
In the 1911 census schedule, Lord Hardinge, the Viceroy of
India accepted the term Anglo-Indian as the official
nomenclature of the Anglo-Indian Community. The
designation of "Anglo-Indian" had been taken from the
British by an Act of Parliament. This designation was
requested by the Anglo-Indian community, and was accepted
by Lord Hardinge. See, Abel, E. (1988) op. cit., (p.5);
see also, Stark, H.A. (1934) John Ricketts and his Times
Calcutta: Wilson & Son Printers. Thus, a confusion arose
between British settlers who called themselves Domiciled
Europeans or Anglo-Indians and the mixed race community who
were descendants of European fathers and Indian mothers.
By 1990, the term Anglo-Indian was still being debated in
India. Chapter 6 will describe the field study which
investigated the size of the Anglo-Indian community, or
"Who is an Anglo-Indian?"
