Salams.. Yes, The Gentleman named Choudry Sulaiman had 4 kids. The 2 boys became Pharmacists and with the help of their father and mother opened up Pharmacies in the 1980s. Choudry Sulaiman continued helping the Pakistani community. He helped prevent so many lads from going to jail. He worked in the Legal System and liased with police in helping to stop re-offending. He was a pillar of the community. He sadly passed away in 2004.

@@muhammadbilalkhan956 seriously bro? I knew about this documentary back in 2014 and at that time there were no comments at all on this part nor the second part. We need to get off tacko tack nonsense and study the lives of our ancestors as much as we can. Don't piss off your ancestors by not knowing their struggles.

😂lol

Yes

Was it about bengalis in east london?

@@user-zd3xq9nl7p To be honest can't remember detail , but I think it was more up north our end.

😂 first thing that popped into my mind!

​@desi rajput it's 1970s. U cn tell frm their dressing.

True 💯💯

over 140 trillion pounds was looted smh

Wrong. British wealth was created in Britain with inventions and hard work that benefited the entire world. Learn history instead of being an anti wh1te rac1st.

Now facing Islamophobia from non muslims.

That was my grandad my nana

That idiom means a rolling stone gathers no moss.

Do you know who the comedian is ?

Paul Maughan, Britain made his country part of Britain during colonialism, so he has every right to come to Britain and make it his country. Your point has no value in the real world.

Oh dear there are so many problems with this in my opinion. That first generation didn’t come to this country to ‘make little asian enclaves’ and somehow hijack Britain from the inside. They can here for 3 main reasons: 1. Because many were ASKED to come by the British to supplement the post-war workforce (hence reducing the workforce of their own developing countries - thanks for that.) 2. They came to make a better life for their children specifically. Not themselves. That first generation reaped absolutely none of the benefits. They worked horrifically long hours for unfair wages and struggled to move up the ladder due to their colour. They sacrificed their connection to their beautiful homeland which was slowly deteriorating because of the effects of the British raj TO THIS DAY. They additionally had to leave behind the cultures and way of life that were all that they knew to come to a foreign land with awful weather where they all became vitamin D deficient (just talking for myself here now lol.) They knew they would lose their connection to their children - that’s why they worked so hard to retain their culture as it was the only way of life they could relate to. But that’s the sacrifice they made for their prosperity. 3. The British Raj literally stabbed them in the back and twirled the knife for centuries and then slowly pulled the knife out just before they left. They LOOTED India for all it was worth. Before the Raj, India was responsible for 25% of the world GDP. After the British left, they were left with only 4%. They controlled all their markets and sabotaged their main trades. For example, they cut off the hands of the best loomers in India to take out their textile trade and the threat it posed to British industry, They then haphazardly split India into multiple parts in partition to divide and conquer - the biggest upheaval/immigration of people in human history. So many Pakistanis had lost generations of family wealth and business when they left India so had nothing to lose and came to the U.K. to rightfully benefit from the wealth they gave Britain in the first place. These immigrants did not and do not freeload off wealth that the British have themselves worked so hard to accumulate. They are instead taking back what was rightfully taken from them. Britain would be nothing but an island of no consequence without empire. And their empire would have been nothing without India. Although you didn’t explicitly mention all that I’m responding you - it’s frustrating when people don’t know the history of this country that is so essential for context. A true flaw in the history curriculum methinks.
