We are Anglo-Indian by community, of that fact we have reason to be proud.

We have forged a history in many ways of any larger community

Anywhere in the world and this could be justifiably proud.

Let us cling and cling tenaciously, to all we hold dear -

Our Language, Our Way of Life, Our Distinctive Culture.

But let us always remember that we are Indians. The community is Indian.

It has always been Indian. Above all, It has an inalienable Indian birthright.

The more we love and are loyal to India, the more India will love and be loyal to us.

I do not believe that the community will be absorbed or disappear because of some

Allegedly inevitable historical-cum-biological processes. Anglo- Indians have certain

Coherent sense, which in the final analysis will ensure continuing cohesion and identity.
