| Comment | There's a decent community of Scots from various subcontinental backgrounds in Glasgow. Most Glaswegians who have family who hail from that part of the world came from the Punjab region - don't know how that ties into your cultural background.
With religion as well, you haven't said how big a part (or not) religion plays in your life but there's 2 large Gurdwaras that have been built in the last 10 years if you're Sikh, there's a fairly large central mosque and various mosques dotted around the place if you're Muslim and I would imagine there would be Hindu temples as well (I'm sure I visited one on a school visit - admittedly this was 25 or so years ago!) So from a cultural perspective there will be plenty of people in the city who will share a similar cultural background to you if that helps ease any concerns about feeling like an outcast.
While Glasgow's not as diverse as London - and while my adult life hasn't been as diverse as my childhood (I went to a secondary school that was only 50% white) it's been very unusual for me to not work alongside either Indian immigrants/students, or Scots of Indian/Pakistani descent. |
