Yes, I think his parent were immigrants. As such, he would enjoy special recognition in India as, effectively an Indian. Henry Nowak was also born in the UK, but was a dual UK-Polish citizen, through his parents. Much of the debate is about "foreign cultures" maintaining foreign traditions in the UK, and not "integrating" (tell that to Declan Rice, for not properly "integrating" and still feeling a bit Irish). Nowak's parents obviously wanted to maintain Polish traditions and links to a country they saw as the motherland. Anyone going into a Polish supermarket would see the different food they eat. A Vindaloo is more part of the British culture than Kielbasa. Polish immigrants into the UK was a hotbed of debate in the UK 10-15 years ago, and it was the number of Poles in the UK that was one of the major drivers of the Leave vote in the Brexit referendum, So at the time, much was written about the reproduction rate of Polish families compared to British families; the complaint was all these Polish kids, including a young Henry Nowak, would overwhelm the school system and local services, as well as change British culture. Back in 2015, Nigel Farage had this to say: https://www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/article/farage-i-prefer-indians-to-poles-they-abide-by-the-law-mj2hhbc092t I'm surprised Mr Farage, or his ilk, haven't come out with the line "if only poor Henry's parents had gone home when I told them, then he would be still alive. Woke Remainers caused this!".
