At first glance, no one\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewould seriously doubt that. Asian Indians are the largest ethnic group in Britain and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eknown as an ¿upwardly mobile people¿. They are successful entrepreneurs, restaurant\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eowners and academics; as well as the inventors of the popular ¿British¿ national dish\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003echicken tikka masala, which has recently ¿surpassed fish and chips in terms of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epopularity¿ (http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/british_Asian). They are also important\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003einfluencers of Britain`s pop culture, especially through literature and successful films\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esuch as Bend it like Beckham, East is East or the TV show The Kumars at No.42\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(ibid). The Anglo-Indian influence on British popular culture (ibid).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe biggest influence that British Indians have on British popular culture can be seen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eby the large number of Indian restaurants, most of which are actually run by owners\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof Bangladeshi origin. Chicken tikka masala has surpassed fish and chips in terms of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epopularity and become Britain`s most popular national dish, even though it is a British\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAsian invention which was not known in India until it was introduced after many\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBritish tourists had requested it. Although Asian Indians are a vital part of the British\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eculture, they still have to face many obstacles; racism and unemployment as well as\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eintergenerational conflict are amongst these problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e[...]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783640123308\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783640123308","offer_id":39440446881885,"sku":"9783640123308","price":17.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/600b472d-cba7-4a0f-b4b6-f45b8f75ddb4.jpg?v=1774589922","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/asian-indians-in-great-britain-von-vinzent-frohlich","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
