A History of Indo-Canadians in Ottawa Project
Ottawa has a diverse 35,000-strong Indo-Canadian community of Indian origin.
The first book (published in 2018)
"A History of Indo-Canadians in Ottawa... A journey across generations" was the first attempt at documenting the history and growth of Indo-Canadians from three immigrants (the pioneers who arrived in 1948—see the pictures below) to a diverse and dynamic diaspora of Indo-Canadians.
Second book (coming soon... end of 2024)
"The Evolution of the Indo-Canadian Community in Ottawa: History, Profile, Institutions and Mainstream Footprints" ... Stay tuned for announcement.
