*I am also an Anglo Indian, my grandma was fluent in Portuguese. When i was young there were about 50,000 Anglo Indians living in kochi, but now there are only thousands, all of whom have settled in Europe and USA and i lost most of my childhood friends*
I'm from Tangy and I do agree that most of them, especially with the surnames of Fernandez, D'cruz, D'costa , Gomes/z aren't exactly Anglo-Indians in the strict sense of the term. They are distinctly Portuguese and Dutch surnames, so it would be right to call them Luso-Indians. The term 'Anglo-Indian' was coined for people of British/Scottish/Welsh descent. So this documentary talks about the Luso-Indians, not Anglos.
Uma P I agree. Anglo-indian is a usage that was adopted post independence for various reasons, some of them political. Earlier those of us in Kerala were just known as Eurasians.
@@AD-gu6sr in Mumbai there are East Indians as well. They, goans of Portuguese descent, Dutch Indians and Franco Indians too are technically Anglo Indians. But to assert their distinct identity they prefer different nomenclature.
I agree and no offence meant but hey do not sound linguistically speaking like conventional Anglo Indians, of course, it could possibly be of the regional dialect influencing their accent
@@nairprem53 what do you want?? The names say alot I can differentiate between the run ins and the real ones. Many converted to Christianity and acquired AI certificates from crookish sleazy AI leaders in kerala to fall under the obc quota. The right name for them is fernigis.

What you said is true, linguistically. However, that's not how the government of India defines it.
If Scotish/Welsh are termed as "Anglo" then even Irish (Northern) can also be called as "Anglo" based on national identity of the UK.
In India, European descendants are classified under a single bracket, namely Anglo-Indians, and hence..
True
Very true we have to spread awareness lot of these people claim to be Anglos when they r not
#respect for the community as well the team...

Many of these aren’t Anglo Indians they are just Latin Catholics converted from lower caste

Absolute rubbish these jokers aren't AIs...
Their gene pool has been mixed and diluted over the centuries. 1500s was a long long time ago

Not very sure what you are trying to say. Must complete the point; leaving it halfway leaves a lot in doubt.
