Well the Pakistanis who mostly went to Uk were labourers due to the creation of mangla dam. That’s the main reason for many Pakistanis not doing well there. The Pakistanis who went to other countries like Australia, US, Canada are much better as compared to their compatriots in Britain (main reason being educated).

a substantial percentage of the indian migrants to the UK also went as low-skill laborers - bus drivers, cabbies, mom and pop retail, etc. generally their offspring ended up much better off than them.

i think the explanation does involve the skill/education-level relative to indian immigrants but also involves attitudinal issues.
