Actually Canada is also very similar, you have Panjabis as largest group (most sikh but also Hindus and predominantly middle castes like jats), the Hindi speakers (not sure what castes), Eelam Tamils (Vellalas and some other castes, almost no Brahmins), Gujaratis (Middle castes, mostly Kolis and Patels).
While its a better sample than US its still skewed because all these people are self selected immigrants both in UK and Canada.
