Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: near fine. First edition. When the British arrived in Singapore in 1819 it was to set up the most eastern outpost of the British East India Company. So the Indian community, though never a majority, has played a significant role as clerks labourers and merchants from the earliest times to providing two Presidents during Singapore's history since independence. Nair, an expert in Indian diaspora studies, in this history notes Indians integral part in the city's growth, but does not forget the Indian role in both world wars when elements were part of the two most serious challenges to British rule there.
