If you mean Indians from India, many came over to work in the cotton mills in the north of England, in places like Blackburn and Burnley. After a while they sent for their families and settled in the cotton mills towns,just after the second world war. The majority of Indians came a few years later,in the early seventies.These were `British` subjects who had been domicile in Uganda, they were made refugees when the then Ugandan President Adi Amin expelled them from his country.Most did not want to go to India so they came in their thousands to England.
On the other hand, if you meant Red Indians, they came with the Wild Bill Hicock Rodeo show,at the end of the 19th century, they did a performance for Queen Victoria and Albert, and toured the country doing shows.He bought his wife along, she is better known as Calamity Jane. As far as I know, these particular Indians , being American subjects, returned to the U.S.A. with the troupe when the tour was finished.

To trade and improve their lot in life and to improve the life of their children mostly I would imagine.
Why did Britain go to India and make it part of the empire?
To steal all the resources and enslave the population!

We invaded and conquered India, now it`s their turn. Or.....the UK has many ethnic groupings, a legacy mainly of our days of Empire. They came to UK to "improve their lot", to prosper and escape the poverty of their homeland, and where better than the motherland of the wealthy conquerors.

Probably to get their own back on us going out to India and conquering and enslaving them, pay back time.

because people lid to them and told them they would be treated like princesses and princes. And that is why they are also so rude to you.
