Back in the early days of British India in the 17th and 18th centuries, there was a very strong tradition of British governors marrying into native families, and settling down to have children. IIRC, some even converted to Islam and Hinduism, though these were in the minority.

How would it be possible to keep this process going for much longer? Would this make some sort of Indian Mutiny, and later Indian independence movements less potent, with a fairly substantial Anglo-Indian mixed race population? How will Britain herself be impacted? Will the sons of British aristocrats by Indian mothers be accepted into mainstream British society due to their white ancestry, or shunned due to their Indian ancestry?
