The concept of Anglo-Indians dates back to the early 16th century with the arrival of European trading firms from Portugal, France, Netherlands, and finally, the British often referred to Companies, with the culmination of India being transferred under the British East India "Company Raj" to the Crown in 1857. Children of mixed races called Europeans were now termed Anglo Indians under the new "British Raj"
The new Anglo Indians were instrumental in building a new India under the British with the Railways, the Press, the Civil Services, Posts, and Telegrams, education institutions based on Eton and Oxford and laying the foundation of the Modern Indian Armed Forces and creating a "fusion" of food, English in name and technique but seasoned with Indian Spices. The word CURRY was invented from the Tamil kari, kedgeree from the rice and lentil khichdi, and Indian words were loaned into the English Language such as Jungle, Loot, Thug, Cummerbund, Cashmere, Shampoo, Avatar, Pundit, Juggernaut, Khaki and many more.
