The provision permits the President, if satisfied that the Anglo Indian community is not adequately represented in the House of the People, to nominate members of that community to the House, subject to a cap on the number of nominees; this mechanism operates as a special device to secure representation based on the President's assessment and nomination power rather than electoral processes.
