  • Indians in Vietnam consist of migrants to Vietnam from India, both historical and recent. As of 2011, there were about 2,000 people of Indian origin settled in Vietnam, mainly in Ho Chi Minh City. Prior to the Vietnam War, there was a vibrant Indian community consisting of primarily Tamils, and specifically the Chettiars. The Cham people (remnants of the Champa Kingdom) of central Vietnam share a long history with India. Today, the majority of Indians in Vietnam practice a religious syncretism of Hinduism (Brahmanism) with Mahayana Buddhism. Hindu temples serve both Hindus and Buddhists. There are two main groups of Indians in Vietnam: The Pre-1975 Indian-Vietnamese, who have been living in Vietnam since the late 1800s; and the Post-1990s Indian expats who arrived after the Doi Moi economic reforms, as entrepreneurs, business people, professionals and foreign workers.
