basically, now Anglo-Indians have to stand for elections rather than getting 2 seats automatically. There are many Indian parliamentary constituencies with populations of over 2 million. But the Anglo-Indians, with a population of just 0.3 million, still feel entitled to 2 seats.

Ah, well, that part doesn’t seem right.
People should be able to run for office, without any such set asides, and voters should be free to accept or reject.

well, some may, but most seem to accept this change.

Note that it is also a point that “you got this deal for so long, it is a pain to give it up” - which is the same problem for every welfare given by government
