I was having a conversation with my 17 year old son the other day, and was trying to get to the crux of why Brits - by and large - hold Sikh migrants with such high regard which is quite often not extended to those from other populations.

I look at my childhood of the 80s and 90s and, whilst not wildly diverse, we had warm and excellent relationships with Sikhs young and old and older. Some 40 years later I still see that same friendship, but less so with people of other religions.

My social history is good enough to understand the British Empire etc, but are there other factors at play that I've not considered?

As ever, I'm here to have my mind broadened and knowledge enriched. Not to start arguments.

Thanks for reading!
