Indians’ reverse immigration and the caste factor
Summary
India has one of the largest populations in the world. They are also historically significant due to the caste system. The caste systems were social segregations in the Indian society where some of the groups got the right to hold higher social status and the other such as the Dalits were the lowest. This segregation preyed even on the future generation, turning it into a birth right curse. The British are said to have played part in the set up during the colonization and the succeeding government formalized the same. Most of the Indians that migrated to Canada left for the job opportunities it offered and there is a faction that left due to the discriminatory system that would enslave them for generations (Gupta 15). Toronto is one of the largest cities in Canada and holds the highest population of Indians, making it the best research location. The study tries to establish the historical significance of the caste system among the Indians living in Canada, linking the same to the likely fear that they may face going back to their mother country now that it is a booming economy (Omvedt 22).
The informational gap
The history of the Indians gracing the Canadian lands dates back to the twentieth century. The Indian developed the interest of coming to Canada quite early and some of the traces indicate that during the time that they came through Canada from the diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria in London. They later on in the year 1902 passed through the lands coming from Edward VII coronation. The fist trace of immigration is set to have taken place about 1903, when the first immigrants came to Vancouver and the rest came to Victoria.
Most of the immigrants at the time were Sikhs and came to work in the lumber camps as logger while other worked in the railway building. By the year 2001, there were more than 297,000 half of whom were living in Toronto at the time. Today there are more than one million Indians in Canada. Most of the immigrants have settled in the Ontario province at the average of 700,000. Toronto city that is within the Ontario province has the highest number of Indian immigrants totaling to about 600,000. Most of the Indians in Canada now hold some crucial position in the Canadian economy, among the most prevalent fields include medicine, engineering and management among other specialty industries. Canada has been one of the most vigilant countries in the east that has been sourcing skilled labor from India, competing with other nations such as the USA, UK and Australia. The reason for the competitive edge is the immigration laws that are not as strict as those of the other nations (Barry, 42).
Most of the material that exists, indicates that majority of the immigrants are looking for a better place to live given that the Indian system is quite poor (Gail, 244). In Canada the immigrants can get better jobs ...
