That is probably true. 

Mirpuris are far more clannish. 

Birmingham Pakistani muslim proportion more likely to be Mirpuris. 

London's muslim population is more diverse.

Mirpuris = majority groomers..

The Pakistanis from Faisalabad, a lot of them originally came from Jalandhar before partition. 

Lahore is down the road from Amritsar. 

There is always a difference between people from the plains and people from hilly areas. 

What you would find the Pakistanis from the plains like those from Lahore and Faisalabad (with the exception of the religion) will likely have more in common with Sikhs than Mirpuris. 

So what you might find that although they might do the "Allah hu akbar" and "we are muslim brothers" and call each other "bhaijan" and do all the "islamic unity" their feet gravitate towards Sikhs.

I grew up in Baylis near Ramgarhia gurdwara, now in Langley. Glad we got out. Too congested and dirty near the shops not to mention all the Pakistanis.

No, don't make that mistake. They are far more similar to Mirpuris than us. They still follow a lot of the same backwards practices.

That's not as bad as Baylis. We used to live just off Stoke Poges Lane, loads of suls there. More apne near Singh Sabha, plus it's near the Khalsa primary school which is very good.

True, unfortunately our people never learn that lesson. There's a reason why those Muslims from Jalandhar are now in Faisalabad and there is a border between Amritsar and Lahore. When the crunch came the Muslims were driven by the greed of Sikh lands and Hindu businesses in order to drive out the Sikh landowners and the Hindu businessmen out of their newly created 'land of the pure'. The Sikhs of the 1940s understood their mentality and if the Sikhs were being driven out of West Punjab then they weren't too squeamish about also driving out the Muslims to make space for their fellow Sikhs to settle in East Punjab.

I don't disagree with what you are saying.

What I mean is that their affinity in a lot of ways is going to be more with Sikhs.

If Sikhs move to an area and establish themselves, it is going to be this particular group of Pakistanis that will follow first. 

It is this group that notices first where Sikhs are moving to.

They watch what we do.
