A MULTICULTURAL PLACE




In relation to British Indians, it doesn’t stop to impress me how two very different cultures can live healthily in the same place.



United Kingdom has been a very attractive place for immigrants, but certainly -London is the city with more non-British population of the state.

London is a multicultural city that has received for many years, hundreds of immigrants from various countries, mainly from those that were colony of the British Empire. India was one of them, and that is why some Indians migrated to United Kingdom, due to ancient colonial links.

The Indians correspond to the majority of foreign people that are living in the British capital, reaching the 3% of the population (of a total 8 million 174 thousand according to the last census). Then follow the citizens from Poland, whose percentage correspond to the 2% approximately.


The British of asian race suppose the 18.4% of London's population and British of black race, the 13.3%.


Today is possible to see that Indian culture is respected and appreciated for its colorful clothes and beautiful traditions, and also is possible to see that Indians respect London life, this as a kind of balance.

It is also possible to see a fusion of cultures, for example, in meals- and in this case, the fusion of two cultures in the marriage.

Here we can see two weddings: on the one hand an indian wedding and on the other a common wedding by the same couple.

This shows that respecting the cultures and traditions we can live in an atmosphere of peace and love.

Why don't do the same with other cultures?

It's time to change and learn to respect

  1. I completely agree with you, I do not understand why people can not accept and respect other cultures, we are always trying to show superiority and preferences. I really like your story!

  2. The pictures are really nice... Love is more important than race or situations that can divide us for any reason. Love is always a good cure to all the modern diseases as hate, xenophobia or discrimination.
    María Francisca, congrats it's a very good post, it shows that we all can live together, no matter what our condition is.
