Nilgiri Malabar Battalion

The Nilgiri Malabar Battalion (NMB) was an Auxiliary Force (India) (AFI) of the British Colonial Auxiliary Forces of the British Indian Army, composed of Eurasians/Anglo-Indians. Enrollment in the Auxiliary Force was open to all European British subjects and to persons of European descent. After the Mutiny of 1857, a Volunteer Force was created, whose primary function was to protect British families in India. The Volunteer Force units were later absorbed into the Auxiliary Force India (AFI), which was created in 1920 for internal security duties.Its terms of service were similar to the Territorial Army of the UK. The AFI, which provided officers to the Army during World War II, was disbanded in 1947.
==Eurasians of Peninsular India==
The first Europeans who came to India were the Portuguese, followed by the Dutch, British and the French. In 1498 Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama landed at Calicut. Calicut was the capital of the Zamorin, the most powerful ruler in south-west India. Portuguese women in the east were few in number, and Portuguese men began to live with local women. The Portuguese, Dutch and British instituted systems of encouraging their men to marry local women, paying a gold mohur for each child born of such unions. This young generation was seen as a cornerstone, a bulwark of empires.
The Portuguese used the term ''mestico'' from about 1546. The British introduced the derisive term ''half-caste'' from about 1789. According to Edgar Thurston 'The influence of the various European nations-Portuguese, Dutch, British, Danish, and French-which have at different times acquired territory in peninsular India, is clearly visible in the polyglot medley of Eurasian surnames.' Later in the nineteenth century Eurasian took its place until the official acceptance of Anglo-Indian as the community name in 1911. The descendents of these Eurasians who came to be known as Anglo-Indians constituted the Nilgiri Malabar Battalion.
