Little India, 小印度, லிட்டில் இந்தியா, Singapore
Little India is commonly known as Tekka in the Indian Singaporean community. Little India is distinct from the Chulia Kampong area, which, under the Raffles Plan of Singapore, was originally a division of colonial Singapore where ethnic Indian immigrants would reside under the British policy of ethnic segregation. However, as Chulia Kampong became more crowded and competition for land escalated, many ethnic Indians moved into what is now known as Little India.
