МАТЕРИАЛ К СЕМИНАРУ THE HINDU COMMUNITY

The Hindu Community Before coming to the UK , many Asian Indians were living and working in Kenya for their then British colonial masters. Many were educated and wealthy and were in high posts, having a good standard of living. Migration to the UK As many were British passport holders, like many other Asians, they first thought of the protection and safety of their family and took themselves to the UK, via India. The journey, by steamship across the Indian Ocean back to Bombay, was sometimes perilous, in high seas and bad conditions. Most were apprehensive and uncomfortable about going to the UK, whilst leaving their families back home. For many, migration meant being away from their loved ones, from their way of life and culture.
