I would say Muslims population are booming in UK, far ahead of Indians here. Quite a lot of Muslims from Middle East are coming. Mosque is very busy

we are not talking about high birth rate, rather most immigrants in london are from India (i.e.foreign born)

Why Indians are migrating to Britain in such a large numbers compared to other countries ?

 

[harpoon]

Why Indians are migrating to Britain in such a large numbers compared to other countries ?

The same reason why North Africans/ West Africans prefer France for immigration.

 

[Windjammer]

Nope. Indians like london more than any city. Other immigrants are more spread out in other cities.

Wonder why is Southall called little India then. !!

Better life I would guess, most people migrate for that reason(except refugees or asylum seekers).
Here are some comparision of net migration rates, to compare.

china: -0.33 migrant(s)/1,000 population (2012 est.)
Pakistan : -2 migrant(s)/1,000 population (2012 est.)
India : -0.05 migrant(s)/1,000 population (2012 est.)
Bangladesh: -1.04 migrant(s)/1,000 population (2012 est.)
Sri lanka : -1.95 migrant(s)/1,000 population (2012 est.)
Poland : -0.47 migrant(s)/1,000 population (2012 est.)

Why Indians are migrating to Britain in such a large numbers compared to other countries ?

If you compare the total number of Indians migrating to Britain in comparison with total population of the country, than India is way behind to other countries.

As, one of your countrymen posted on previous page.
For comparison :-

Office of National Statistics
Census 2011 England & Wales

Country of Origin	Total Population
Indian	1,412,958​
Pakistani	1,124,511​
Bangladeshi	447,201​

Now compare the migration in (%) in accordance with total population.

India: 1200 Million

Pakistan: 180 Million

Bangladesh: 150 Million

lol. Cant believe a person living in UK is saying this... all these are part of 'greater london', served by same mayor. The 'city of london' or 'the city' is a quite small place. When people say London, they are referring to the massive metropolis which includes all these boroughs with 'the city' in the middle.

southall belongs to london borough of ealing.

where did you get the bangladeshi statistics for 'London', does it mean 'city of london', if yes then data is most probably wrong.

 

[AUz]
