A meeting of Anglo-Indian community leaders recently called for the reinstatement of reserved representation for Anglo-Indians in the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies.
They urged the government to conduct a caste census to accurately reflect their population.Leaders highlighted the community’s socio-economic challenges and lack of adequate political representation.
The Constitution of India provided representation for the Anglo-Indian community in the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies through Article 331 and 333.
Nomination: The President could nominate up to two members of the Anglo-Indian community to the Lok Sabha under Article 331, and one member to the State Assemblies under Article 333 if they were not adequately represented.
The 104th Constitutional Amendment Act (2019) ended the provision for nomination of Anglo-Indians to the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies, effectively removing their representation.
