Summary: The movement of Indians outside India merits a comprehensive study by Indian historians in the changed political climate of the country. Dr. H. P. Chattopadhyaya's INDIANS IN SRI LANKA, A historical study, which is based mostly on original documents preserved in the Ceylonese and Indian archives, meets a long-felt want by offering a comprehensive history of the Indians in Sri Lanka-Tamil labourers and Indian business men such as the Nattukottai Chettiars- from early part of the 19th century till the 1970s. Sri Lanka is India's close and friendly neighbor. The cultural affinity and geographical propinquity have forged between the two Asian countries significant links which have been highlighted in the present study. In analysing the Indo- Ceylonese relations and in presenting the various aspects of life of the people of Indian origin in Sri Lanka, the author has delved deep as will be evident from the Bibliography appended to the book. Possessed of much topical interest, the book, it is hoped, will be received by the reading public as a welcome contribution to the history of Indians Overseas
