Indians in the United Kingdom (British Indians)
Distribution by local authority in the 2011 census.
British Indians are citizens of the United Kingdom (UK) whose ancestral roots are from India.
Currently, the British Indian population exceeds 1.8 million people in the UK, making them the single largest visible ethnic minority population in the country. They make up the largest subgroup of British Asians and are one of the largest Indian communities in the Indian diaspora, mainly due to the Indian–British relations (including historical links such as India having been part of the British Empire and still being part of the Commonwealth of Nations). The British Indian community is the sixth largest in the Indian diaspora, behind the Indian communities in the United States, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Malaysia and Nepal. The majority of British Indians are of Punjabi and Gujarati origin with various other smaller communities from different parts of India including Kerala, West Bengal, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.[4][5]
Rishi Sunak is the current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom since 25 October 2022, the first person from the British Indian community to become Prime Minister.
