Why are indians doing so much better than other minorities?

Actually, a lot of immigrants of Indian origin that came in the 70s and 80s came from East Africa (Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania) and were NOT educated professionals on the whole. It was their children's generation (our parents' generation that started to become educated professionals) which has continued to our generation.

Even in the 60s, most of those Indian immigrants that came from India were not educated professionals.

The educated professionals coming over to the UK is a recent thing - 90s onwards.



Subhas Chandra Bose, right?

Indian immigrants come from India. Ugandans, Kenyans and Tanzanians are not Indians. Indian immigration is far more recent, like you have said.

Not all people of Indian origin/ethnicity in the UK came straight from India. They could have lived in another country before coming to the UK.

The immigrants and their descendants that came via Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania in 1970s/1980s are of Indian origin and so they are regarded as Indian migrants and as part of the British Indian community.
During censuses and questionnaires, they tick their ethnicity as Asian Indian or British Indian.
The vast majority of these people arrived as refugees and were unskilled and uneducated and yet this is one of THE most successful groups of immigrants in the UK.

But there was also a first wave of uneducated, unskilled Indians who came from India back in the 1950s and 1960s.

The statistics that are presented about the Indian community in the UK includes these groups too.

What you were talking about is like a third wave of Indian origin people migrating to the UK.



@spv help me explain.

@spv help me explain.

the only reason those uneducated indians and their kids have become very successful now is because the time the parents came, they were discriminated against and worked very hard to make a living and integrated. Cant say that about the other two communities unfortunately. The 2nd and 3rd generation have become more segregated and radicalised compared to their parents because they have been let lose in this country with a political correctness agenda unlike the 70s it was 'put up or shut up'

Are you talking about Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and the 2nd/3rd generation of those immigrants communities?

Because we are smart and have a strong work ethic therefore we are successful unlike Pakistanis.

I would say the true reason, but i'll be banned

Most of the Indians that came from East Africa were businessman, some were even professionals like bankers, accountants, teachers, etc, they were fluent in English and were educated at least to a basic level. These factors gave them a huge advantage over the communities which came directly from the subcontinent who were mostly uneducated and from rural famring backgrounds.

lolyh that's because your family would honour kill you if you were to even dream of pursuing a career that wasnt in medicine or engineering

It's not representative of the Indian demographic as you seem to imply, that is to say, it isn't race or ethnicity at work here.

The Indian demographics that live in the UK largely came over at the end of the British colonization of India, the ones that came over were in all well to do middle class, with the money to travel and the intelligence to realize that without us racist white people running their country for them it would go down the cr@pper.

If you were to take actual lower/working class Indians you would see a stark difference in the stats, many of them still live tribal existences.

There was specific warnings given by the Indians that came over, when the government was about to open our borders to rural Pakistan and India, that these people were very different, I could hunt out the quote if you like. It was in a talk given by Christopher Hittchens on the Muslim issue in his area.

Pakistani's in countries like America are quite well off. But in the UK we've had more idk how to say it, "trashy" type of Pakistani's immigrate here

Nah, the situation is very similar in Canada. I'm Canadian..but we have FAR MORE Indians in Canada then Pakistanis. I find in the Uk it's the reverse

Indians in Canada seem to be a bit messed up..
