Anglo-Indians are a mixed-descent Indian minority community which came into existence when Europe and India, came into contact around 1498 with the arrival of Vasco da Gama on the Malabar Coast. After the Portuguese, the British gained control and their men came into contact with the local Indian women with whom they had relationships. The children born out of this union were not accepted by the British nor by their mother's community as the mother was often ostracized. These children are the Anglo-Indians, as we know them today. This article is contextualized in the historical attempts that marginalized the community and examines the attempts of Anglo-Indians to build a presence in politics and the public sphere through the building of a community identity.
