Anglo-Indians always demanded preferential treatment. The
Anglo-Indians were victims of prejudice from the British
and the Indians. (50)

The next chapter describes the events leading to the
official definition of the Anglo-Indian which occurred in
1911, and the consequence this had for the community in
establishing its own ethnicity∕size. The size of the
community has always been controversial, because of the
wide variation between Anglo-Indians, who descend from
European fathers and Indian mothers. Although the term
Anglo-Indian was first defined in 1911, the community still
has problems in defining who is an Anglo-Indian.

The next chapter also describes the other significant
events of the twentieth century. In particular, it
examines the chaos which erupted in the community in 1947
which marked Indian Independence, the struggle for
survival, the emergence of large associations of
Anglo-Indians, the acceptance of Hindi as the national
language, and the increased poverty, unemployment and
drop-outs in Anglo-Indian schools.
