The British went to India as Traders in 1600 and left India after ruling it for over 400 years, in 1947. British soldiers married or had affairs with Indian women and their offspring were called Eurasians or Anglo-Indians.
Definition of “Anglo-Indian”: The Male Ancestor is British or European! An Anglo-Indian is defined as “a person who is of mixed British/European and Indian descent, and whose Grandfather on the male side is British or European”.
