Rejected petition We urge the government to grant Anglo-Indians British citizenship.

We urge the British government to grant Anglo-Indians British citizenship. The Anglo-Indian community not only has a shared ancestral history with the British but they are also proud of their English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh roots.

More details

Britain is the ancestral home of Anglo-Indians. They have as much right to live in the UK as any other British citizen. I believe that this would also be good for business and will deepen ties with an emerging economy.
