Greater India (which included modern day India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Burma, Bhutan & Sri Lanka) was part of the British empire and at the end of the second world war Great Britain had huge labour shortages, so they invited people from the former colonies to come and fill the huge holes in the workforce. There was a lot of poverty in the newly formed states of India and Pakistan, so naturally a fair number of people took up the offer to come and work in the UK.
