ABSTRACT

Up to the close of the last chapter the problems of the Indian settlers in Fiji have been discussed and their permanent place in the Pacific has been noted. But these are not by any means the only emigrants from India who have gone abroad and settled in the Pacific area. The Sikhs of the Punjab, a much-travelled race, have found their way to almost every port, not only in the Far East (at Hong Kong, Shanghai, etc.), but also on the American coast. They have spread to the Philippines and Hawaii, In many of these places I have met them and they have always given me the warmest welcome.
