The spread of Indian, especially Punjabi, diaspora is often described as the revenge of the colonized. Those who migrated to UK took their language and culture with them and did a bit of cross-pollination there to leave a lasting impact on the culture-scape of what was once truly Great Britain. However, things were never easy for the early migrants to UK. Apart from linguistic and cultural alienation they had to contend with insidious as well as brazen forms of racism. This volume does not just dwell on these aspects but shows how the diaspora came to terms with the not-so-friendly socio-cultural environment, eventually taking firm roots there.
