Just to kick off a new thread :
- Anyone got the distribution of BKs around the world ?
Outside India and Sri Lanka, the families in UK and Australia and USA are seemingly larger, but many of the Dadis first made their first trips out into the world to the Far East. What happened then ?
Could it be that, other than UK, these countries have a shorter history and so almost "everything goes" there. So it is safe to introduce anything ?
Or could it be due to follow the English language, since the British empire was waning but the American empire dawning in the 40s ?
Or could it be that these countries are generally richer than most of the world, so world service should start with the rich, rather than starting with the poorer countries ?
Or could it because the Indians who immigrated in the 1940s-60s went to these richer countries in search of richer pastures, and so the BKs followed suit ?
