keywords: 

{'rajya sabha': [50, 3, 22, 40], 'lok sabha': [42, 3, 20, 27], 'indian community': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'members': [37, 11, 44, 71], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'maximum': [1, 2, 1, 2], 'member': [22, 5, 20, 36]}

Option-1: The statement in option-1 is incorrect. In the Lok Sabha, the President of India does not nominate any members. All the members of the Lok Sabha are elected by the people of India.

Option-2: The statement in option-2 is also incorrect. In the Rajya Sabha, the President of India can nominate 12 members who have special knowledge or practical experience in fields such as literature, science, art, and social service. However, there is no provision for the nomination of members of the Anglo-Indian community in the Rajya Sabha.

Hence, both statements in the question are incorrect. The correct answer is option-4: Neither 1 nor 2.
