The Indian community in Northern Ireland, though small in size, has made a significant impact on the region’s economy, culture, and diversity. According to the 2021 Census, nearly 10,000 people of Indian origin live across Northern Ireland, with Belfast hosting the largest concentration. Many are professionals in healthcare, education, business, and IT, contributing strongly to the growth and resilience of local society.

Cultural life is enriched by vibrant celebrations of Diwali, Holi, and other festivals. Temples, gurdwaras, and community associations reflect the rich religious and cultural traditions Indians have brought with them.

From entrepreneurship to public service, the Indian diaspora continues to build bridges across communities, enhancing Northern Ireland’s multicultural identity while preserving strong ties to Indian heritage.
