My friends from school, college, work are of mixed background. Guju, Panjabi various castes, low, high it makes no difference we talk on all subjects we drink, socialize together. We are just "Indian" that's it. A fare bit of intermarriage goes on. My Guju friends tell me that there was a time when families would insist on a Gujju caste specific for marriage, now they are just grateful that it is someone Indian.Aldonkar wrote:I have no worry about staining my "upper caste" status, nor do my Hindu friends.Haresh wrote:
Agree.
The parts you highlighted about the recycling, is the exact part I have been discussing hear in London with friends.
The author misses the point. Labour has been infiltrated by islamists and those islamists are hostile to Indians/India.
Labour is doing their bidding
The only bit of the story that rings true is that I have never seen an Indian dustman in the UK. I remember arriving at Heathrow Airport in the late 1960s and being surprised to see that the women cleaners sweeping the floor in the Arrivals area were Sikhs (probably from nearby Southall). When I mentioned this to my brother who had already lived in the UK for a couple of years, he explained the realities of life to me - you did what you had to do to survive and put food on the table as long as you stayed within the law. Later on I had another shock, a White man sweeping the streets.
The Indian immigrant whether from East Africa (like Sunak & myself) or India strive to better themselves. For Hindu, Sikh and Christian this has been by academic means or by acquiring vocational skills. However the Pakistani Muslim, seems to be obsessed by religion to the detriment of their work and relationships with other people. Colleagues (English) at work have told me of Muslim co workers trying to get them involved in discussions about religion - a taboo subject with most whites because of previous history (mostly Protestant vs Catholic but also Anti Semitism). Kashmir is another obsession. In fact, they have brought Pakistan with them to the UK.
Re Indian Dustmen it is a rare sight, mainly because there was always a stigma attached to it. I remember my parents used to say to us "if you don't study, you will end up being a dustman or street cleaner"
Cleaners at the airport are mainly from the surrounding areas of Hayes, Southall. All castes/communities, it pays the bills. I suppose dirt is an equalizer. I even know of a brahmin toilet cleaner. It's just a job
The white people who do those sorts of jobs now are mainly east European, a lot of Africans as well.
moslems are always sticking their religion in peoples faces, the goras avoid talking about it. The advantage the Indians have is we will go to the pub and talk about it over beer. Goras know who dis 9/11 & all the others, and of course the rape gangs.
I went to a Indian pub in Southall called the "Scotsman". Lot's of pictures on the wall from Indian but right in the middle was the England flag for football purposes
