Little India (location)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
India Square in Jersey City, New Jersey, USA, is one of at least 20 Indian American enclaves characterized as a Little India which have emerged within the New York City Metropolitan Area.
Little India is an ethnic enclave containing a large population of Indian people within a society where the majority of people are either not South Asians or where the majority in the enclave are indigenous to states in the country of India within a South Asian Society not identifying as Indian. It may also refer to an area with a high concentration of South Asian shops and restaurants.
