Bombs, machine guns, air raids, poison gas?

Post independence there was free movement--the main problem was that there was a strict limit on the amount of money that could be taken out of India. Even in the 60s people came by ship.
(In the last few days an agreement between the two countries on the return of illegal immigrants and the sharing of information on criminals.--)

They came by ship, I don't know numbers, I only know 'people'.
Those who came later many were persuaded into the NHS! The numbers you describe were obviously greater.
Those from the West Indies also came by ship.
