So often when the media and statisticians discuss 'British Pakistani's', they fail to realise that there are significant differences in social attitudes, education priorities, employment - just to name a few - between them due to originating from different geographical areas of Pakistan, between the early migrants (of the 50's and 60's) and their descendants versus the later arrivals (including those from East Africa), between those originating from urban areas versus the rural towns and villages.
For example, those originally from the Mirpur area are usually depicted as being very conservative in social attitudes.
What do PPers think? How do you feel the different groups are stereotyped by the British Pakistani's themselves and the way they regard each other?
Discuss.
- And if the Indian PPers wish to join the discussion, perhaps they could comment upon these differences in attitudes amongst Indian's themselves and how they view each other?
