Punjabi in Australia


Some of Punjabi Girls sends us pictures without mentioning their names but wonderful information about Punjabi Sikh history settled in Australia. They writes that today there is a large Fiji Indian population in Australia who call Australia there home. These Fiji Indians have changed the face of Indian Australia. While earlier Indian migration was that of educated professionals, these new Fiji Indians were more dynamic and business going. Their arrival has increased the services enjoyed by all Indians.

The current wave of Indian migration is that of Engineers, tool makers from India, Gujrati business families from Africa and second level relatives of settled Indians. Most Gujrati families go into business. Engineers and Tool Makers, most of them, find a dead end of job. Being as enterprising as many Indians are, they either go back to College and study programming to land a decent and stable job. Others are venturing into their own businesses. September, 98 a new wave of Indian immigrants has hit Australia.However, there are also many thousands of Punjabi-speaking students studying in Australia at any given time, who have come from India and Pakistan for higher education. The Punjabi community living in Australia is mostly a young and self-supporting community.

Punjabis have a vibrant culture, elements of which are infiltrating contemporary western music. Bhangra music frequently tops the charts in the United Kingdom, Canada and the South East Asia.
