Most of these were actually created originally to fight back against the racist white skinhead gangs who were going around attacking South Asians:

P@ki Panthers 🇵🇰 based (newham) - it was created in 1999 by Pakistani youths in east London and these guys were labeled as a racist group which attacked any black or white person back in the 2000s. They later became known as Asian virus cuz afghans 🇦🇫 also got involved. They had wars with African gangs in east London.

Birmingham P@ki Panthers 🇵🇰 based (Birmingham)- it was created during the 90s by Pakistani youths in Birmingham to fight of white racist groups and black gangs such as the burger bar crew. These guys were no joke. They also supplied drugs to black and white street gangs because they could get their drugs from Pakistan.

Aston Panthers 🇵🇰 based (Birmingham) - I’m not too sure when they were created but they used to go to war against Sikhs in brum during the 2000s especially a gang named The Sikh Sp. these guys were also involved in the 2005 race war against Caribbeans in Birmingham. Two Caribbeans died. In 2001 a Caribbean guy called Leroy smith was left for dead after a group of Pakistanis attacked him and shouted racial abuse towards him.

Cannon street Posse 🇧🇩 based in (tower hamlets) - these guys used to fight white racist gangs everyday and chase them out of the area. After they fought them off they started fighting against other Bengali groups in tower hamlets such as the brick lane massive etc. the olders tried to make a truce in 1998 and told the young ones to stop fighting each other but after a couple of months the battle resumed again.

Brick lane massive gang 🇧🇩 based in (Tower Hamlets) - these guys were probably one of the most powerful Bangladeshi gangs in London during the 90s hands down.

The east boys 🇧🇩 based in (Bethnal Green) - it was a Bangladeshi gang that was created during the 1990s.

Bengalis green massive 🇧🇩 based in (Westminster) - it was created during the 1980s to fight off white racist gangs terrorizing the area. After they drove them off, they would also fight other Bengali gangs in west London. It was so bad, that in 1996 politicians pleaded with them to stop the war.

Lisson green mandem 🇧🇩 based in (Lisson green) - it was created during the early 1990s and they fought other Bangladeshi gangs and black gangs such as the Mozart bloods during the 2000s.

Camden Bengalis 🇧🇩 based in (Camden) - they fought against white gangs in Somers Town and Regent Park. A white guy called Richard Everitt who wasn't involved was attacked and killed by them in 1994 after they shouted racial abuse at him.

Croydon Tamils 🇱🇰 based in (croydon) - they began during the late 1990s and they had a rivalry with another Tamil gang in tooting. It was soo bad that in 2003, Tamil gangs became subject to enforcement via Tamil task force.

Wembley Tamils 🇱🇰 based in the borough of (Brent) - they became very active during the 90s and fought other Tamil gangs. They burnt someone alive in 2002.

The Pakistani 🇵🇰 gangs in (Walsall) - during the 2000s there were many Pakistani gangs in Walsall and these guys were on job. They hated any outsiders like white and black people and clashes between them were common.

Pakistani 🇵🇰 gangs in (Bradford) - where do I start from? Pakistani gangs have been running Bradford since the 1980s and they were making millions of pounds selling drugs. The most notable Pakistani gangs members in Bradford during the 90s and 200s were:

Boxer Maz 🇵🇰 🕊️ was one of the most respected guys in Bradford and had good relationships with most people. Allegedly killed a yardie in Bradford in 2000 because of territories and drugs issues. This then caused a war.

Khalid khan 🇵🇰 well known drug boss made millions of the street

Mussy 🇵🇰 one of the most well known drug dealers in West Yorkshire. Had plenty of fights and he was involved in the Bradford race riot in 2001. He was also known as a bully, terrorizing civilians.

Mudasser Ali 🇵🇰 drug kingpin in Bradford. He had connections in Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds, London, Glasgow etc

Shere Panjab Birmingham 🇮🇳 based in (Birmingham)- they had rivalry with other Pakistani gangs 🇵🇰 especially Aston panthers because they allegedly pushed Islam onto Sikh girls and tried to groom them but this was never fully confirmed. There was always a growing tension between Indians and Pakistanis since the 80s.

The donkey gang 🇮🇳 based in (Birmingham) - they had rivalry with Pakistani gangs during the 80s and fought against them for the same reasons Shere Punjab allegedly did.

The Sikh Sp 🇮🇳 based in (Birmingham) - they had rivalries with Pakistani gangs but they made a truce with them in during the race war in Birmingham 2005. They linked up with the Aston panthers, the lynx and redheads to fight off black gangs who were beating up any Asian they could find. Black youths were going all over Birmingham smashing up any Asian shops Sikhs or Muslims they don’t care anybody was getting it.

Southall Sikhs 🇮🇳 based in (Southall) - they had rivalries with Pakistani gangs and they went to the Pakistani Muslim area of Slough, Chalvey and smashed the cars and houses up in 1997 and when police arrived they started to fight them. A pakistani restaurant owner called Imtiaz Hussain Syed was attacked and killed by them outside his restaurant in 2002.

The Chalvey Boys 🇵🇰 based in (Slough) - they had rivalries with Sikh gangs in Slough and after the Southall Sikhs came to Chalvey and smashed the houses and cars up they attacked an Indian Sikh guy called Sanjeev Singh, but he survived. The yearly mela in Slough which is a South Asian cultural festival in the uk had to be cancelled throughout the 2000s cuz the beef was that bad.

Pakistani 🇵🇰 gangs based in (Leeds) - there are lots of Pakistani gang members in Leeds. The places they reside in is: beeston, chapeltown (lots of Sikhs there aswell), harehills, Holbeck etc.

There were plenty more South Asian gangs in the uk during this time and there are still many active in this current era.
