Question

How many members of the Anglo Indian community are nominated by the president for the Lok Sabha?
A)One
B)Two
C)Three
D)None

Answer 1

Hint: The number of members nominated is two from the Anglo Indian community by the president for the Lok Sabha. This reservation policy was started by the British and was ended during the making of the constitution initially for \[10\]years.

Complete answer:
The total number of seats in the Lok Sabha is \[552\]but now only \[545\] is elected. It includes the elected representatives of the states and union territory and members nominated by the president. Article \[336\( 2 \)\]of the Indian constitution defines the Anglo Indian.
Anglo Indians were given reservations from the beginning. The word Anglo Indian was first heard in the government of India act\[1935\]. Article of the Indian constitution provides Anglo Indian reservation for years after the implementation of the constitution. This reservation was extended by eight amendments to \[1970\] then followed by the twenty-third amendment, forty-fifth amendment act to\[2006\]. Then sixty second, seventy-ninth to and ninety-fifth amendment act to January.
In the census of India, there were \[296\]Anglo Indians in the country. The number of seats of Loksabha is calculated by the proportional representation system which is according to the number of population in a particular area. Hence, this does not justify the reservation of Anglo Indians. This reservation was removed by the \[104\]amendment act by the then law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad.
So, the correct answer is Option B.

Note: Frank Anthony was the first person nominated by the president as the Anglo Indian representative during the first general election. Whereas Henry Gidney was the first-ever Anglo Indian person to be nominated to the central legislative assembly from the year $1921$to\[1934\].
