| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this project is to study and analyze the date which have been collected by the field work conducted in Britain in 1986. The main points of the tentative conclusion are as follows.
(1) After the World War II the British colonail system began to collapse which resulted resulted drastic changes among the Indian communities in various British colonies and caused mass emigration to Greet Britain from not only these colonies but also the Indian subcontinent itself. These two main streams of migra- tion evidently produced the difference in several aspects among the Indian communities in Britarn.
(2) To some extent it becomes clear how the Indian migrant communities were formed in Britain, how they developed, what is the structure of each commnity, how their political, economic, social and religious activities are. Particularly the importance of the caste and religious organizations of Indian migrants should de nored.
(3) The Indian migrant communities are giving great impacts on British society, but in retum, they themselves are influenced cosiderably by the British society. However they seem to begin to create their own particular identities which are different from those of the people in the subcontinent. This very interestiong process itself seems to show the possibility of forming a new multicultural society in future.
(4) Another remarkable phinomenum is that the Britain is not necessarily the ultimate destination of the Indian migrants and quite a lot of Indian migrants moved again to the Commonwealth conutries such as Canada and Australea, or U,S. via Britain, which may be called secondary migration.
