A third of British men in India had Indian wives or mistresses.

> Intermixing and cross-cultural marriages were common in those years, with East India officials and English military men happily marrying local women. Some of the British men even took on Mughal customs, particularly if they lived at a distance from the Anglicised presidency towns of Calcutta, Madras and Bombay: wearing Indian dress, writing Urdu poetry, establishing harems and adopting the ways of the Mughal governing class they slowly came to replace.

        Are you surprised? If Lindy had been born at the right point in history he'd have been a British imperial administrator somewhere in Burma, hunting tigers, riding elephants, drinking his own bodyweight in gin every week, and coming home every night to his personal harem of technically legal (because he made sure that the colonial administration didn't mention age in the appropriate legislation) aSEAn harem/collection of broodmares/stable of ladyboys; and he would have spent every second of his service there complaining that he didn't get to fight the French.

      >David Ochterlony was born in Boston, Massachusetts, the eldest son of Captain David Ochterlony (also Ochterloney) and his wife, Katherine Tyler.

      >As the official British Resident at Delhi, David Ochterlony adopted and thoroughly embraced Indo-Persian culture of Mughals. He was reputed to have thirteen Indian concubines (as seen by the British) or wives (as seen by others). Every evening, he used to take all thirteen of his wives on a promenade around the walls of the Red Fort, each on the back of her own elephant

      Hispanist Propaganda told me Anglos didn't mix with colored women and that the Spaniard Empire was the only one willing to mix it's European blood with the conquered peoples

      So that was a lie

        They just didn't do it to the extent of creating a whole new race out of the melange. Which is obvious, considering only a very small number of administrators and soldiers went there, instead of massive waves of euro settlers in Latin America

          In addition, British women were later sent to the colonies and they had a dim view on all the fricking going on due to the no-fun-allowed evangelical views fashionable at the time.

          A similar thing happened in Australia. Although there it was complicated by not only settlers fricking aboriginals, but that the initial stock of settlers were primarily prostitutes and petty criminals. There's even a story that the first night the first fleet arrived was basically a non-stop orgy, although that's probably not true.

          On the contrary. The13th English colonies were like +90% white while New Spain (Mexico) never had more than 20% European population living in it

          The Indian parliament has to reserve specific seats for Anglo-Indian representatives if it wants to pretend that it's a representative body.

        Anglos didn't mix because they brought their wives while the Spaniards did because they didn't. Obviously if you have a group of men in powerful positions over another group with no women from their own group with them then they will take women from the ruled populace.

    One reason UK shouldn't apologise for the empire os that everyone who demands it also praises some genocide or conquest theor nation did

      Another reason would be that the only peoples that didn't engage in Imperialism are the ones who didn't get the chance - either due to isolation, being on the receiving end of someone else's imperialism, or just being so isolated that they had nobody else to do it to.

    If this was true there'd be a huge Anglo-Hindu population numbering in the tens of millions and they'd be running the country.

      India literally does have an Anglo-Hindu population although they don't run the country. India had its own (British-educated) elite which had come up under the Raj, who were able to sideline rivals, including British bastards.
