International migration has now become a norm and in the UK alone there were over 105.2 million admissions by the year end September 2011, an increase of 2% from the following year1. Asian and Asian British people represent more than 50% of the ethnic minority population in the United Kingdom2. South Asians therefore constitute UK’s largest ethnic minority group3. The term ‘South Asian’ is mainly used to refer to people whose cultural or familial backgrounds originate from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and East Africa4. Pakistani migrants are ranked the second largest migrant group to the UK, where as Indian migrants are ranked fourth5. Overall there are more than 2.3 million South Asians in the UK4 and their health and wellbeing is of an increasing concern.
