Although many Ugandan Asians had retained British passports upon Ugandan independence (jan 1, 1972 – jan 1, 1973)
Description:
Although many Ugandan Asians had retained British passports upon Ugandan independence, changes to British immigration law in 1968 and 1971 meant they no longer had automatic right of entry. Anti-immigration domestic politics gave way to pressure from the international community and ensured that Britain agreed to accept responsibility for all UK- passport-holding Ugandan Asians.Added to timeline:
