The US currently has a far higher Indian population than the UK.

Indeed it's twice the size.

Interesting admission based on your earlier comments investments (and
most of the migration "employment oriented" are in the upper 50% of US
income earners). Of course , to paraphtrase, "migration is the sincereest
form of investment". On the other hand, visibly "rich" Indians residing in
the US are a Southern California thing, invisible except in Houston anda
handful of similar cities.

This is a recent phenomenon. The demographics of the US Indian population
is also radically different to that in the UK.

We do have more Patels I presume.....

But London remains the biggest Indian city outside of India...


But hardly an "Indian" city, as San Antonio, the largest Mexican city
outside of Mexico is clearly far more Mexican than London is Indian.

One of the interesting demographic comparisons....

While Indians in the UK are concentrated in the cities (and in identifiable
neighborhoods/areas in most cases), in the US the largest number are found
dispersed in small towns and cities (and with no identifiable housing
patterns. While the high-techs are the best known and most recognizable,
medical/health professionals make up the largest group after
"individual/family business owners", all those pure capitalists, with
educators at the university level being another substantial segment of the
overall population.

Indian migration to the US is certainly a post 1960, maybe 1970, phenom.
