A study of Panjabi Sikh F's in Southall, London, UK. Contacts between English & Indian F's are usually limited to educated, Me & Uc Ur Indians, eg, US's diplomats' wives, professionals, & those from US fam's who settled in the UK. Lc F's usually have no soc contact with Westerners or with their educated country women. The Sikhs have a tradition of foreign emigration & came to Southall in the 1950's, where they are employed in semi-skilled & unskilled capacities. The Gurudwara (temple) forms a religious & soc center, & the Indian Workers Assoc is the community spokesman in relations with the host society. Interpop tensions have so far remained beneath the surface. Though the majority of Sikh M's have abandoned the untrimmed beard & turban which formerly distinguished them, the F's retain traditional dress & uncut hair. The F's were largely reluctant to leave India & migrated as dependents of M's. The extended fam system is strong, & unattached F's are almost nonexistent. House-sharing & traditional joint fam households are common, due in part to the housing shortage in Southall. F's have less educ than M's & are slower to learn English because of infrequent contacts. Knowledge of English is an advantage in seeking employment & a status symbol; those who do not know the language rely on their children as interpreters. Shyness rather than unwillingness is seen as the reason why many do not learn English. Conditions in the UK are seen as favorable to Indian assimilation. F's favor English educ & orientation for their children, but see themselves as too old & inhibited by tradition, etc, to change. M. Farber.
