Out of a population of 30 million Sikhs.
Only a handful managed to make our way over to the UK.
Are we lucky or were our 1st generations smarter in that they made it to the uk. When most others only dream of being here?
Like how did some manage to come over and others did not. Was it a matter of some put in the effort to come to the UK and others did not.
Like my immediate family came in the 50's to the UK. They came as self employed sales people and shop owners. But not sure how some were succesfull in comming over and staying while others were.not.
When I go back to punjab sometimes i get a certain amount of jealousy from relatives back in India. That we made it to the uk and they did not. We then get hassled to try and bring them over.
