History of Bangladeshis in the United Kingdom

Bangladeshis are one of the largest immigrant communities in the United Kingdom. Significant numbers of ethnic Bengalis and ethnic Sylheti people arrived as early as the 17th century, mostly as ''lascar'' seamen working on ships. Following the founding of Bangladesh in 1971, a large immigration to Britain took place during the 1970s, leading to the establishment of a British Bangladeshi community. Bangladeshis were encouraged to move to Britain during that decade because of changes in immigration laws, natural disasters such as the Bhola cyclone, the Bangladesh Liberation War against Pakistan, and the desire to escape poverty, and the perception of a better living led Sylheti men bringing their families. During the decades of 1970s and 1980s, they experienced institutionalised racism and racial attacks by organised ultra-right fascist groups such as National Front and British Nationalist Party.
==Early history of Bengalis in Britain==

Throughout the 17th to early 20th centuries, the British East India Company brought over thousands of South Asian ''lascars'' and workers, who were mostly Bengali and Muslim, to Britain.〔 Due to the majority of early Bengali immigrants being ''lascar'' seamen, the earliest Muslim communities were found in port towns. Naval cooks also came, many of them from the Chittagong, Noakhali and Sylhet Division of what is now Bangladesh. One of the most famous early Bengali Muslim immigrants to Britain was Sake Dean Mahomet, a captain of the British East India Company. In 1810, he founded London's first Indian restaurant, the Hindoostane Coffee House. He is also reputed for introducing shampoo and therapeutic massage to the United Kingdom. There are other records of Sylhetis working in London restaurants since at least 1873. By the time World War I began, there were 51,616 South Asian ''lascars'' living in Britain, the majority of whom were of Bengali descent.
Due to the lack of Bengali women in Britain at the time, most early Bengali immigrants settled down and took local white British wives. As a result, most early British-born Bengalis were usually 'mixed-race' ('Anglo-Indian' or 'Eurasian'), famous examples including Albert Mahomet and Frederick Akbar Mahomed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=PortCities London )〕 Most of these 'mixed-race' offspring also assimilated into British society through marriage with the local white population, thus there was never a permanent British Bengali community until Bangladeshi women began arriving in large numbers from the 1970s, after which a majority of Bangladeshis chose to marry among one another, leading to the establishment of a permanent British Bangladeshi community.
