Bhatia Association (UK) was established in April 1972. The idea to form the Association was first made by Late Shri Laljibhai Swaly and Late Shri Kanjibhai Toprani. Both had come to the UK in the late sixties and wanted to form an organisation which would bring together all Bhatias residing in the UK and plan some social functions so that every one would have a chance to meet each other.
