Indians in Britain to double by 2051

The population of Indians in Britain is expected to nearly double from 1.4 million to 2.67 million by 2051 by which time the country's population would hover around the 78 million mark, according to a new study.
The study conducted by academics from the University of Leeds, says that ethnic minorities are set to make up a fifth of the population by 2051. Their share of the population will increase from eight percent in 2001 to around 20 percent.
The study also revealed that ethnic minorities will shift from deprived local authorities to more affluent areas, with ethnic groups to be 'significantly less segregated from the rest of the population'.
Project leader Philip Rees, a professor, said in a statement: 'The ethnic make-up of the UK's population is evolving significantly. Groups outside the white British majority are increasing in size and share, not just in the areas of initial migration, but throughout the country, and our projections suggest that this trend is set to continue through to 2051.'
The number of non-EU migrants given work permits, or permission to carry on working in Britain, rose by 20 percent, from 159,535 in 2007 - the year before points were introduced - to 190,640 last year, including dependents. The number of student approvals increased by a third, from 208,800 to 273,445 a year later.
The study found that that 'groups outside the white British majority' are increasing in size and share, not just in the areas of initial migration, but throughout the country, and our projections suggest that this trend is set to continue through to 2051.
It says: 'At a regional level, ethnic minorities will shift out of deprived inner-city areas to more affluent areas, which echoes the way white groups have migrated in the past. In particular black and Asian populations in the least deprived local authorities will increase significantly.'
Other key projections for 2051 include Britain's population reaching almost 78 million, from 59 million in 2001. The current population of 61,398,000 is an increase of three million since 1997.
Obama visit: India, US to begin talks on 'deliverables'
As the first substantive bilateral conversation on the 'deliverables' for President Barack Obama's visit to India begins here this week, liberalisation of high-technology exports to India is likely to figure at the top of the list.
US National Security Adviser James Jones is arriving in the Capital for two days of talks with the Indian establishment. His principal interlocutor here will be National Security Adviser Shivshankar Menon.
Menon and Jones, who have been meeting frequently on the sidelines of various international gatherings during the past few months, will explore the possible give and take during the Obama visit, which is expected to take place in early November.
Wrapping up the implementation of the historic India-US civil nuclear deal and dismantling the remaining vestiges of the technology denial regime against India are subjects that figure high on the agenda.
The two officials are also likely to firm up plans for structured cooperation between the National Security Council staff in Washington and Delhi.
During the first round of strategic dialogue in Washington last month, External Affairs Minister S M Krishna had made the case, in public and in private, for removing various Indian entities, such as the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre and the Indian Space Research Organisation, from the so-called American list of foreign entities slapped with technology sanctions.
Krishna also urged his American interlocutors to put India in a higher category of strategic partners that enjoy liberal access to advanced and dual use technologies in the US. The Obama Administration had agreed to consider the Indian requests seriously. It is now the turn of Menon and Jones to find practical ways to get this done.
Meanwhile, Delhi is said to be looking beyond the mere lifting of US national controls on high technology exports to India. It would like to be part of international bodies, like the Nuclear Suppliers Group, that draft the guidelines for the export of special technologies and materials.
Only a full membership of these multilateral groupings would complete the political reconciliation between India and the global non-proliferation order.
Indian membership of the Nuclear Suppliers' Group, the Missile Technology Control Regime, the Wassenaar Arrangement, which addresses the armaments trade, and the Australia Group, which deals with chemical weapons, would require mobilising the political consent of the current members.
Washington, on its part, would want the removal of the last barriers for the full implementation of the civil nuclear initiative, including the passage of a liability legislation that is in tune with international standards.
The Obama Administration has been signalling strong interest in winning a share of the rapidly expanding Indian defence market. Speaking in Washington earlier this month, US Under Secretary of Defence Michele Flournoy promised to offer "top of the line" defence technologies to India.
She also underlined the ongoing efforts in Washington to streamline and modernise US export controls that would allow the building of solid defence technology partnerships with countries like India.
Among the other actionable ideas under consideration for the Obama visit are expanding cooperation in maritime security, strengthening the partnership in outer space and initiating a new engagement in cyber-security.
