In a compelling new report, think-tank Policy Exchange reveals significant findings on ethnic diversity in the UK, particularly highlighting the high professional presence of British Indians.

The study criticizes current public policy approaches that treat ethnic minorities as homogeneous entities, arguing this is outdated and ineffective. Instead, the report calls for nuanced strategies that acknowledge and celebrate diverse backgrounds.

Incorporating data from the 2021 UK Census and extensive polling, the analysis advocates for a government-led national integration strategy. It also emphasizes the importance of teaching British history inclusively, fostering pride in national heritage.
