Waiting for political analysts to talk about impact of Indian origin diaspora in UK elections
There was no impact in fact it was utterly embarrassing.
Leicester has the largest Indian community, primarily Indian Gujarati outside India in any one city apart from London, yet the entire city voted Labour on mass, all three wards elected Labour even though the Gujarati community spent the last couple of months banging on about Kashmir and how Labour was siding with the Muslims.

They couldn't do anything in Brent either i.e. Wembley which has a huge Indian Gujarati community;

They only managed something in Harrow East.

We all know what happened in London, only the outlying areas voted conservative who are white majority.
The reasons for this are that the Indian community is split, the Sikhs don't give a toss about Kashmir and the Khalistan support is massive among the community. They also don't like the fascist RSS.
The Gujarati Hindu community is also declining in numbers and has aged, and also find themselves outnumbered by many of the new communities now. The Indian Muslim Gujarati community has always voted Labour as well.
The BJP endorsement clinched it for Boris Johnson, that was when the tide turned. Brexit was non issue
No it did not, it had nothing to do with it. I have put up the results as proof, in actual fact the Indian community is marginal and can't really do much to influence the results.
Stupid labour party, when whole world is turning islamophobic they just licked Muslims bot*um
Still, the swing was evident
Stop speaking RUBBISH on here. You know nothing. There was no swing, not even a hint (evidence already put up) and none of the parties are Islamaphobic or have ever been. We don't have such fascists like you have in India. Go worry about your own country.
