Isn't it strange how Asians in other parts of the world usually means Chinese or Koreans, while in UK it means Indians and other browns?

It's on purpose, when a crime is committed by a paki they'll call him asian and your average person will think about the peaceful Chinese and not about the filth from southern asia.

It's less nefarious than that, it's just that the empire was in India and those were our first colonial immigrants. Pakis/Asians and Indians being 2 separate things. If you look at old maps you will see Turkey kinda area is 'Asia Minor' then a little bit eastwards is 'Asia', it's just because of that. We distinguished between Indians and non-Indians from that 'Asia' region for political reasons IE Pakis and Indians hating each other.

I was not aware of this side of the story about the term asian, I always assumed that it was used to hide the fact that grooming gangs were made of Pakistanis in the UK.
