Little India (Tamil: லிட்டில் இந்தியா) is an ethnic district in Singapore. It is located east of the Singapore River - across from Chinatown, located west of the river - and north of Kampong Glam. Both areas are part of the urban planning area of Rochor. Little India is commonly known as Tekka in the Indian Singaporean community.
Little India was originally a European area used for cattle trading. Indian migrant workers specialised in working with cattle and found job opportunities in the area. Its location along the Serangoon River originally made it attractive for raising cattle, and livestock trade was once prominent in the area. Eventually, the swamps that made cattle farming so lucrative were drained, and the European cattle farmers and traders moved out. This left the neighbourhood almost entirely ethnically Indian.
Little India was the site of a two-hour-long riot on 8 December 2013, after a man was killed in a traffic accident. 27 people were injured, and 40 people were arrested.
Although ethnic Indians no longer tend to stay solely segregated in one place as previously arranged under the modern People's Action Party (PAP) policy of racial harmony, for the sake of cultural heritage, many of the ethnically Indian commercial or cottage industry usages are concentrated in Little India, although Indian-dominant commercial zones are also found in HDB estates. Contrary to stereotypes, Little India is not solely an Indian neighbourhood. Located in the neighbourhood alongside shops that cater predominantly to the Indians are Chinese clan associations, places of worship of different religions, and a variety of different business ranging from electrical supplies, hardware, second-hand goods alongside traditional spice grinders and grocers.One of the more prominent examples of cross-cultural patronage besides those regarding food is that many Chinese parents go to shops in Little India to grind rice to make congee for infants.[citation needed] The machinery used in this instance was initially flown in from India to grind spices into powder for use in Indian cuisine. Tekka Centre is also multi-cultural, with produce and sundries that cater to the many ethnic groups in Singapore
