The documented Anglo-Indian population dwindled from roughly two million at the time of independence in 1947 to 300,000 - 10,000 by 2010. The nature of British Indian relationships and stigma during the colonial period often meant that the ethnicity of many Anglo-Indians was undocumented or identified incorrectly. Many have adapted to local communities in India or emigrated to the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, the United States and New Zealand where they form part of the larger Indian diaspora.[5][10]
