  Asian children in Britain today come from settled communities reflecting a diversity of ethnic and religious backgrounds. This book traces their ethnic origins and patterns of migration that result in the configurations found in Britain today. The belief systems that give shape and form to the traditional extended family structure are first explored by an exposition of the main religious faiths to be found in India and Pakistan, and their implications for individual and family life.
