Hong Kong has a long-established South Asian population. As of the 2006 by-census there were at least 44744 persons of South Asian descent in Hong Kong. Many trace their roots in Hong Kong as far back as when most of the Indian subcontinent was still under British colonial rule and as a legacy of the British Empire their nationality issues remain largely unsettled. However recently an increasing number of them have acquired Chinese nationality.
