Anglo-Indians originated in India in the seventeenth century as a result of colonialism. They aligned themselves culturally with the West rather than with India—being English speaking, Western in outlook, and Christians. Indian Independence in 1947 led to a sense of deep unease about their future in India, which resulted in a significant trend of migration from the community to English-speaking Commonwealth countries. The Western lifestyle of those remaining in India is now threatened by a combination of the loss of a critical mass, introduction of Hindu nationalist policies, and integration of Anglo-Indians with other Indian populations. An additional pressure on their Western way of life is posed by post-Vatican II inculturation policies. In this article, I examine the changing practice of various aspects of Anglo-Indian Christianity in Calcutta and comment on the ways in which it is being influenced by the milieu of Hinduism and assisted in this by the Vatican
