Both Anglo-Indians and Mestissos were children of European fathers mainly British and Portuguese respectively and Indian mothers.
Whereas Anglo-Indian children were born during the period 1700 to 1947 i.e. roughly in 250 years , Mestissos were born from 1510 to 1961 i.e. 450 years.. A colourful insight into the lives of Anglo-Indians is provided by Rudy Otter who wrote ''Colourful Though ts''vide F.N.Noronha "" Anglo- Indian surnames"" (July 2,2014) and extensive quotes of ""a speech given by a senior Anglo-Indian army veteran at a dinner dance in Sydney"" vide Gabe Menezes ""I am Russel Peters..."" (July 23,2014 ). Really a beautiful description of Anglo-Indian life in India for 250 years and I wish there was a similar description of Mestisso life in Goa for 450 years.
