Anglo-Indians: A Diminishing Minority of India. Meet Glenda Michelle Singh

Anglo-Indians are a fast diminishing minority of India. After India became an independent nation in 1947 the slow exodus of the Anglo-Indian community to the west started. Many Anglo-Indans migrated to Australia, United Kingdom and Canada.

Meet Glenda Michelle Singh, who grew up in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh that is often described as the heartland of the Gangetic plains. Glenda and her family were part of a small Anglo-Indian community that lived in Lucknow.

@hanros98 Well, whatever that they wanted to cling onto, it'd better be

we are superiod because we have white blood". Not after the whitemasters have abandoned them. But that's what they did. It's like they have no self-respect..

@citizenOfNowhere777 i guess they had to cling to something to make them feel better after the british left as they didn't quite fit in with indian society

[hanros98]

@TheTwollocks actually that is true good point

[jmsnooks]

@citizenOfNowhere777 OK I thought maybe you were from there because of how much you were talking about Anglo-Indians. Where are you from then?

[citizenOfNowhere777]

@jmsnooks I do not know what you're talking abut. I am not from India or even South Asia.

@citizenOfNowhere777 Then why are Hindu men trying to mack to Anglo-Indian women all the time? Don't tell me it doesn't happen because I have seen it.

@zenith808 MOST overwheling Anglos-Indians are born out of the lowest social class of both groups (Indians and Irish or whatever else that came to India). If you wan tti talk about class, do you research and instead fg picking on era where your grandparents were used your puppet masters for their administration. Anglo-Indians couldn't exist except as the puppets of the slave masters. When the masters were gone, the slaves got no puppet jobs and no other skills to do anything else either.

@hanros98 Contd.. but I didn't point out their origin until they started acting superior blatently. all know that most of Anglo Indians were fathered by Irish soldiers who never married the woman they impregnated. Not that that made them any less human but they should know their own roots before trying to put down others. The other Anglo-Asians (of that British time) do not behave like that (I am their descendant), not in these days anyway. I gave the info by printing the article on it.

[citizenOfNowhere777]

@hanros98 Exactly. There wre Anglo-Indians in where I grew up, a SE Asia. I didn't have much encounterment with them until in US. Three sisters, dirt poor and working as housekeepers to American family and eyt they wanted to act superior to me who came to US on student visa and finished my MS degree by the time I met them. I knew they were jealous but I didn't point out their origin until they started acting superior blatently.
