Abstract
In the age of identity politics and competitive community assertion, many Anglo-Indians in India feel a sense of deprivation and alienation, which has not only distanced them from the mainstream of politics and active involvement in public life but also perturbs their socio-economic life. This chapter examines the group dynamics of the Anglo-Indian people in the politics of representation, particularly with regard to the genesis, organisational structure, functions and effectiveness of the Anglo-Indian associations and other groups that pursued the socio-economic and cultural interests of Anglo-Indians. It also assesses the role and performance of various Anglo-Indian associations in articulating the Anglo-Indian identity and safeguarding the interests of the community in colonial and post-colonial India.
