das sind nicht die muslime die nach england gegangen sind! bei bend it like beckham sind das inder, also hindus und keine muslimen und die sind nach england gegangen, weil england in indien kolonien hatte, und die inder somit sehr von england beeinflusst waren. als indien die unabhänigikeit erlangte, sind viele der inder nach england gezogen um ein besseres leben bzw einen höheren lebensstandard zu erwerben.
nach dem 2. Weltkrieg brauchte England billige Arbeitskräfte. Viele Einwanderer haben dann in der Textilbranche oder in der Baubranche gearbeitet und sind dann geblieben. Deswegen spricht George gebrochenes Englisch,verfolgt die traditionellen Werte, weil er die "erste Generation" symbolisiert.
From Empire to Commonwealth
Between 1945 and 1965 most of the former colonies of the
British Empire, which had a population of 500 million,
became independent. In 1947, when the British left India, it
was divided into a Hindu state (India) and a smaller Muslim
state (Pakistan). Most of the former colonies remained in
the Commonwealth.
After the Second World War
The largest number of immigrants to Britain after the Second
World War were inhabitants of the British Empire and
the Commonwealth. During the war they came from all
over the world to serve in the armed forces or on merchant
ships. When the war ended some remained in Britain.
Asylum seekers
Later groups of immigrants came from African countries,
Sri Lanka, the Middle East and more recently former Yugoslavia
and Rumania. They were asylum seekers, and people
who were refugees from war or seeking employment in
Britain to escape the poverty in their home countries. The
influx of asylum seekers has continued up to today
Immigrants from the Commonwealth
At the end of the Second World War there was a labour
shortage in Britain. Being inhabitants of the British Empire
and later the Commonwealth, the first people who were free
to settle in Britain were from the Caribbean and the Indian
subcontinent. In 1948 the British Nationality Act gave all
Commonwealth citizens the right to enter Britain, work and
vote. Hospitals, transport and the postal services recruited
immigrants to build up their labour force.
Immigration and growing racism in the 1960s
From the beginning of the 1960s onwards there was a massive
rise in immigration. Political campaigns called for
immigration control. Racism among the population grew.
The National Front, a right-wing political party with extreme
and reactionary views on immigration, was founded
in 1967.

Die große Frage, die mich bewegt: Wieso sind Zweit/Drittgenerationsimmigranten weniger integriert als die älteren?
