Anglo-Indians are an ethnic minority community in India. Existing literatures have mainly looked into their issues of marginality, identity, education, migration, culture and so forth. However, empirical studies on gerontological issues are rarely touched upon. This is an exploratory study is part of my Ph.D., which uses multi-sited ethnography to understand ageing among Anglo-Indians residing in Kharagpur, Asansol and Kolkata, in West Bengal. The Anglo-Indian population is rapidly shrinking as a result of ageing. The majority of its younger residents have opted to immigrate to Canada, Britain, or Australia, and the handful of them that are left here are unlikely to have the demographic or social cohesion to continue being a dynamic community. In particular, the experience of ageing among Anglo Indians is explored in this research. Understand further about how older Anglo-Indian citizens use state-provided social security programmes in India. The findings indicated that elder Anglo-Indian generations that opt to stay in India are socially isolated as a result of this circumstance, they face significant obstacles like social isolation and a crisis of physical dependence. The wider kin network also consists of similar older generation, thus making survival on emergency situations even more jeopardised. It has also been noticed that nostalgia and recollection serve as the cornerstones of elder generations' mental health. They are unaware of social security services that Indian government offers to senior citizens, such as financial allowances or health care provisions. They don't interact with other social groups as a result of their cultural and linguistic differences. Unique to this community, this retired group is economically self-sufficient and unaware of the available government services and support networks. The only sources of income for them are their pensions, savings, and contributions from their young family members. While, underprivileged Anglo-Indians rely on NGO’s, Anglo-Indian organisations, or community-oriented providers.
