The correct answer is option 2, the President. The Anglo-Indian community is a minority community in India with historically close ties to British colonial rule. To ensure their representation in the Lok Sabha, Article 331 of the Indian Constitution provides for the nomination of two Anglo-Indian members by the President. This provision is specifically in place to give the community a voice in the lower house of Parliament. The President is responsible for selecting these members, and the nominations are made in consultation with the Parliament. This means that the President considers the views of the members of Parliament before making the appointments. It is important to note that the Prime Minister, Speaker, and the President`s consultation with the Parliament do not have direct powers to nominate Anglo-Indian members.
