Hindus have migrated to the U.K from all over the world – India, Mauritius, Fiji, Guyana, Trinidad and from the 1950's onwards, East Africa. The mass migration of East African Hindus in the 1960s and 1970s was due to the ‘Exodus’ in Kenya in the 1960s when Kenya gained independence from British rule, and the expulsion of all Asians from Uganda by Idi Amin in 1972. Most Hindus who came to the U.K initially worked in factories, grocery stores etc. as laborers and settled in cities and urban areas. The majority of the Hindu community in the U.K. was and still remains Gujarati.
