Basically this report named The Rise of Indian Property Power in London shows that this isn’t just a temporary trend, but a significant shift in the London property market.
This also indicates that Indians, including those who have lived in the UK for generations and those arriving for education or business opportunities, are now making up the largest group of property owners.
Igniting Pride & Playful Response In Social Media
This news is shared widely on social media, including a viral post from BRICSinfo.
It has garnered millions of views and ignited a flurry of witty and sharp comments from Indians.
And why not as this is a moment many would never have predicted just a few decades ago.
Indians quickly took to social media, mixing pride with playful historical jabs as the news spread.
These responses included witty one-liners to cheeky references to Britain’s colonial past.
Many made a joke saying the tables have now turned.
One such user said, “At least Indians did it legally, not like the ‘Englishmen’ who were a Mafia of thugs that occupied subcontinent India.”
“They once owned half the world, and now they own less than half of London,” added another one.
They did not stop there, with others suggesting that Indians should take things a step further saying “They must get together and colonize England and name it New India.”
