No more Anglo-Indian to be nominated to Indian parliament

Anglo-Indians are unlikely to be nominated to Lok Sabha and state Assemblies from now on with the government on Monday introducing a bill to amend the Constitution seeking to not to extend the provision that is in place for the past 70 years but expires in January next year.

Earlier, Congress MP Hibi Eden had written to President Ram Nath Kovind seeking his "urgent intervention" to reverse the government move. "The Anglo-Indian community has contributed significantly to the country and they are a vital part of our vibrant and diverse population. The revocation of their rights for reservation even when it was not offered to improve their economic status gave them a sense of belonging and protection," he said

"I am of the opinion that the rationale behind the provision of reservation for Anglo Indian community were introduced in the constitution as they had no motherland and their popuation was way too thin for them to elect a representative of their own to protect the well-being of their community. Their social status does not seem to have changed and thus the reason for reservation remains," he said

I don’t like it.

BJP could appoint a couple White members of their party and pad their majority.

India is extremely multi cultural and ethnic compared to the USA.
Technically it isn’t a country but a union if nations.

It has 4 races
1. Caucasians: aryans at 60%, Dravidian at 30%
2. Mongoloid: Tibetan, Burmese etc
3. Austronesian mon Khmer etc
4. Austroloid as in the Jarawas and Sentinelese
"

The US has every one of those groups...and hundreds more.

No, India is not "extremely" multi cultural and ethnic compared to the USA.

No, not Caucasoid - these are completely Caucasian. Next to no “negroid” genetics.

The “purest Aryans” are the brown skinned northern Indians and Iranians.
