This article focuses on the history of Indians in South Africa. In November 2010 the community celebrated their 150 years of settlement. Between 1860 and 1911 the Colony of Natal imported from different regions of India over 150 000 Indians to work primarily on its sugar cane plantations. The analysis covers the process of settlement in Natal, including the activism of Mahatma Gandhi and the government’s creation of an Indian township (Chatsworth) to the south of Durban. After 150 years on South African land, Indians assimilated with the native population, calling themselves nationals of South Africa and repudiating the term „immigrant”. Despite cultural, religious and linguistic differences in the past, Indians today uphold their heritage in the modern upper-class society of South Africa.

The aim of the article is to show London as a city of constant multicultural development, co-existence, adaptation and fusion of many cultures, coming from various parts of the world. This amalgam creates a unique atmosphere of the British capital city. The analysis in the article depicts London as a popular cultural destination for tourists, and draws attention to a rapid ethnic, religious and linguistic growth of the city, bearing in mind the retention of an administrative division of the city and cultural specication of its particular districts. e analysis is supported by particular instances of people coming from various cultures, their adaptation to the western multicultural world and acceptance of other cultures living in the area. A west-London borough of Hounslow has become an object of a deeper analysis. An example of a multicultural urban pyramid, it is a place where African, Asian and European cultures develop, marge and co-exist. London appears to be one of the most culturally diversied cities in the world. Even though not every cultural aspect is possible to integrate, the diversity conrms that multi-ethnicity is a valid phenomenon and develops despite challenges and political obstacles. It creates a set of possibilities for the inhabitants of the British capital to live in harmony and respect for other cultures.
