Little Britain
Given Pakistan was a made up country less than twenty years old at the time "Pakistani" immigration started. the British people need to understant it is Mirpuris who have enriched British lives in ways illegal too numerous to recount.
Some in Pakistan call Mirpur "Little Britain". When thousands of residents lost their livelihoods as farmers in the 1960s - when a huge dam was built in the area - there was a mass migration of Mirpuris to the United Kingdom, where there were labour shortages. As a result at least 70% of the Pakistani diaspora living in Britain today originates from this one small district.
Notes on Mirpur suggest a robust policy of Sikh immigration might be the specific.
