Punjabi Diaspora - United Kingdom

United Kingdom

In the United Kingdom, around two-thirds of direct migrants (excluding South Asians that immigrated from the Caribbean, Fiji and other regions) from South Asia were Punjabi. The remaining third is mostly Marwaris and Bengali. They form a majority of both the South Asian British Sikh and Muslim communities.

Most "twice-migrants" were also Punjabi or Marwaris.

Famous quotes containing the words united and/or kingdom:

    Before abstraction everything is one, but one like chaos; after abstraction everything is united again, but this union is a free binding of autonomous, self-determined beings. Out of a mob a society has developed, chaos has been transformed into a manifold world.
    Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)

    I was a child and she was a child,
    In this kingdom by the sea;
    But we loved with a love which was more than love --
    I and my Annabel Lee.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
