Sydney, 10.12.2007 (IANS): Did you know an Anglo-Indian from Goa, Edward Peters, was the first to discover gold in the Otago region of New Zealand that led to the gold rush of the 1860s?
Such nuggets of information can be found in the book “Indian Settlers: The History of a New Zealand South Asian Community” published by Otago University Press.
From low-wage work to high-profile jobs, from facing discrimination to integrating with the mainstream, the book traces the journey of Indian migrants in New Zealand.
