Abstract
After the necessary introduction dealing with the main components of the colonial relationship between Great Britain and the countries of the Indian subcontinent, an analysis is presented of the essence and development of newly emerged social relations (socio-cultural ones, in the first place) between Great Britain as a country of immigration and its social setting, and immigrants from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh from the 1950s until recently.
In this context the relationship between the former colonial metropolis and the immigrated nationals of the above-mentioned countries from the former British colonial dependencies in Eastern Africa (i.e. Kenya, Tanganyka, Uganda) is also dealt with.
In this connection, in the focus of the author's interest is the British legislation, that is the social, economic, cultural and other consequences of what are actually racist and discriminatory legislative policies of Great Britain towards the immigrant populations from the countries concerned.
