BritishMauritians

British Mauritians are Mauritian citizens of British descent or individuals who have emigrated from Mauritius to the United Kingdom. The historical connection between Mauritius and Britain, stemming from British colonial rule from 1810 to 1968, has fostered a significant demographic and cultural link. During the colonial era, British administrators and settlers established a presence on the island. Following independence, a number of Mauritians of British origin, or those with strong ties to the UK, chose to relocate to Britain, contributing to the Mauritian diaspora there.

Conversely, the term can also refer to individuals within Mauritius who identify with British heritage, often due to ancestral links or a strong appreciation for British culture and institutions. This community may maintain certain British traditions or have a higher propensity for English language use. While distinct from the larger British Indian or Chinese Mauritian communities, the British Mauritian presence, though smaller, is a recognized part of the island's multicultural fabric and its ongoing relationship with the United Kingdom.
