Labour shortages in Britain shaped post-war migration trends from Commonwealth nations. This opportunity was mostly taken up by males from middle-ranking peasant households in Punjab, notably those formerly working in the colonial army or police force and their relatives.
In the early 1960s, a considerable number of Punjabi migrants, particularly the educated class, moved and found work in the industrial, textile, and service industries. Following the passage of the Commonwealth Immigrants Act in 1962, which restricted the free movement of workers from the Commonwealth, most South Asian employees chose to reside in the UK, where they were subsequently joined by their families. Living distant from Punjab, they began to create religious sites and explored the possibility of preserving their culture by performing traditional festivals. As a result, media such as radio, television, and newspapers were required. Tarsem Purewal founded the Punjabi newspaper DES PARDES in London in 1965. It was the first and most widely read Punjabi (Indian) weekly newspaper in the United Kingdom and Europe. The publication had the greatest circulation outside of India and was the largest, most popular, and most frequently circulated Punjabi (Indian) Weekly representing the Punjabi Speaking Community in the United Kingdom, Europe, and throughout the world.
In 1983, Tarsem Purewal visited USA and Canada when we interviewed him. Presenting one of his interviews.
