Focusing on the often-overlooked contributions of working-class Britons, the book explores the early South Asian immigration to imperial Britain. It utilizes a variety of new and neglected sources to offer a revised narrative that highlights the settlement process and the development of inter-racial tolerance. This fresh perspective sheds light on the significant role these communities played in shaping the multicultural landscape of Britain during that period.
