Create a scenario where a concrete Anglo-Indian society like the Angrezi Raj in the Peshawar Lancers arises before 2000 with a POD before 1880. However, this cannot come about due to a major catastrophe like the Fall.
You need an earlier POD. I'd go for Warren Hastings. There was a more mixed society in the late 1700s, early 1800s.

Undoubtedly. The biggest difference between the EIC and the Raj was that during Company rule the British who went out there were almost entirely young single men who often took local wives and integrated into Indian society, whereas during the Raj it was often married men or family men who moved out for a few years, perhaps taking the family, perhaps not, and then left again without really leaving the bungalows and clubs of the British residencies.
I wasn't saying everyone, just that it might get like 10 000 extra people moving to India.Why? US immigration was always pretty lax in regards to people coming in from northern Europe and the British Isles. And in the event that Canada falls under US control, there will be extra incentive to populate it in accordance with the whole manifest destiny creed.

Well increasing the number of half-British people would help...
I wonder if it would be possible to push the Angrezi out to the East African colonies in the 1940s onwards. I'm not sure how welcome they'd be in Kenya or Rhodesia, but if they went in sufficient numbers - say 20k plus, they would be a sizable minority if either colony
It might e helpful to check if they went there IOTL. I know a lot of the Anglo Indians emigrated to th UK after India got its independence? The current Anglo Indian population in India is 125 thousand so you potentially have, say, 300k settlers for East Africa. I doubt they'd be welcome though.
