Our heritage
Who are the Anglo-Indians?
Anglo-Indians are a community born in India, with family lines that trace back to both European and Indian ancestors. Over generations we built a culture all our own: English-speaking, deeply musical, and famous for our dances, our food and our warm hospitality.
The community is recognised in India's Constitution. After Indian independence in 1947, many families made new homes overseas, carrying their traditions with them. Today Anglo-Indians live all around the world, and the International Reunion brings that global family back together.
