The food habits of Asian immigrants
Abstract
It was during the second world war that the first Indian and Pakistani immigrants began to arrive in Britain; most were sailors who deserted their ships and moved inland to work in the Midland factories. By the early 1950s these men had started to send for their kinsmen and fellow villagers in India and Pakistan. A rapid build up of immigration occurred until by 1961 nearly 100,000 Asians were arriving in Britain annually. At this stage only a very small proportion of the immigrants were women. In Bradford the 1961 census revealed that for every Asian woman there were 42 men.
