Birmingham is home to a very large Sikh community, and as a religious group in the UK they tend to have integrated and adapted to British life pretty well. The events surrounding this play was seen as being very unusual (at least from the perspective of the middle class English)
Interestingly the writer herself is a Sikh, and is currently touring with a play based around the incident. http://www.guardian.co.uk/stage/2010/mar/15/gurpreet-kaur-bhatti-behud-behzti http://www.guardian.co.uk/stage/2010/mar/15/gurpreet-kaur-bh...
