NEW ZEALAND INDIAN CENTRAL ASSOCIATION

HISTORICAL BOOKLET

---

On 13 November 2007, at the Diwali Celebration held at Parliament the NZICA saw the completion of the Historical Book Project. The Governor General, Hon Anand Satyanad launched the book "Indian Settlers: The Story of a South Asian Community", written by Dr Jacqueline Leckie of Otago University and published by Otago University Press, Dunedin.

This was an initiative of the NZICA Executive and was achieved through funding by way of research grants from Otago University to Dr Leckie and a grant from the Department of Internal Affairs. This project was successful due to the energy and scholarship of Dr Leckie and the goodwill of the Indian community in providing family histories, photographs and memorabilia.

At the 82nd Annual Conference held at Pukekohe in 2007, President of NZICA invited the High Commissioner of India Mr. Ernest to present a plaque to Dr. Jacqueline Leckie for writing the NZICA’s historical book “Indian Settlers”. Dr. Jacquiline thanked NZICA for choosing her to deliver this dream project.

To date sales of the book have been very good.
