Life / Indian moved to Poland [532]
To osiol and Iwonka --> yes, there are quite a few Indian Christians. In India itself there are 30+ million affirmed Christians (and probably millions more who are Christian at heart). There are many Indian Christians who have migrated to the UK, US, Canada, Australia, Norway etc.
to Svenski and Shelley
Actually, the people in Ladakh are related to Tibetans and Burmese and not Chinese. Ditto for Arunachalis or Sikkimese.
There are many people of Han Chinese origin in India -- mostly in Calcutta but also in Bombay. They are an integral part of India, even though they are ethnically Chinese, they have Chinese-like names, and "look" Chinese, all the Indo-Chinese I've met are very patriotically and culturally Indian. They used to be businessmen and hairdressers but now are involved in various occupations throughout India. Of course, the most famous is a restaurantier -- Nelson Wang who created Indian Chinese cuisine ("Chinese" food is a big hit in India, even roadside vendors make it. Of course, the "chinese" is something any self-respecting Cantonese or Sichuanese would find very puzzling, but hey! it suits the Indian palate!)
