Top Cities With the Most Anglo Indians

The Anglo-Indian community is relatively small but widely distributed across various cities in India and abroad. However, exact population figures are difficult to determine, as Anglo-Indians are a minority group that is often underreported in census data. Below is a list of cities in India and some other parts of the world where the Anglo-Indian community has historically had a notable presence.
