'''Indian New Zealanders''', informally known as Kiwi Indians, are people of [[Indian people|Indian]] origin or descent who live in [[New Zealand]]. The term includes Indians born in New Zealand, as well as immigrants from [[India]], [[Indians in Fiji|Fiji]], other regions of Asia, parts of Africa such as [[Indian South Africans|South Africa]] and [[Indian diaspora in Southeast Africa|East Africa]], and from other parts of the world. The term Indian New Zealander applies to any New Zealander with one or both parents of Indian heritage. Although sometimes the Indo-Kiwi definition has been expanded to people with mixed racial parentage with one Indian parent or grandparent, this can be controversial as it generally tends to remove the ethnic heritage or identity of the foreign parent or grandparent, which may be seen as insensitive to those with mixed parentage, who tend to value both their Indian and non-Indian parents and grandparents.{{fact|date=January 2026}}

Indian New Zealanders are the largest group of [[Asian New Zealanders|New Zealand Asians]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-10-03 |title=Indian population leapfrogs Chinese to become third-largest ethnicity in New Zealand |url=https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/indonz/529761/indian-population-leapfrogs-chinese-to-become-third-largest-ethnicity-in-new-zealand |access-date=2024-10-16 |website=[[RNZ]] |language=en-nz}}</ref> The largest number of Indians living in New Zealand are from Fiji.

==History==

Indians had been employed for a long time on the European ships trading in [[Colonial India]] and the [[East Indies]]. Many of the early voyages to the Pacific either started or terminated in India and many of these ships were wrecked in the uncharted waters of the [[Pacific Ocean|South Pacific]].<ref name=pd1>{{cite book|last=Davidson|first=J.W.|title=Peter Dillon of Vanikoro: Chevalier of the South Seas|year=1975|publisher= Oxford University Press|location= Melbourne|isbn= 0-19-550457-7|page = 31}}</ref> Indians began to arrive in New Zealand in the late eighteenth century, mostly as crews on [[Royal Navy|British ships]]. The earliest known Indians to set foot in New Zealand were Muslim lascars who arrived in Dec 1769 on the [[French Indies Company|French East India Company]]'s ship ''Saint Jean Baptiste'' captained by Frenchman Jean François Marie de Surville sailing from Pondicherry a union territory town bounded by the southeastern Tamil Nadu state, India.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|url=https://india.oup.com/product/indians-and-the-antipodes-9780199483624?|title=Identity and Invisibility: Early Indian Presence in Aotearoa New Zealand, 1769–1850|last=Nachowitz|first=Todd|work=Indians and the Antipodes: Networks, Boundaries, and Circulation|publisher=Oxford University Press|year=2018|isbn=978-0-19-948362-4|editor-last=Bandyopadhyay|editor-first=Sekhar|location=New Delhi|pages=34–40|editor-last2=Buckingham|editor-first2=Jane}}</ref> Their arrival marks the beginning of Indian presence in New Zealand, in which hundreds of unnamed Indian lascars visited New Zealand on European ships in order to procure timber and seal skins.

After establishment of [[History of Australia|first European colony in Sydney in Australia]] in 1788 by the colonial [[British Indian Empire#BIE|British Indian Empire]] under the British East India Company, the company had exclusive right on control of all trade to and from the penal colony.<ref>
Binney, Keith R., Horsemen of the First Frontier (1788–1900) and The Serpents Legacy.</ref><ref>[https://www.tbheritage.com/Breeders/AUS/AusHistBinney.html British East India Company in early Australia], tbheritage.com, accessed 11th February 2024.</ref> These colonies multiplied and expanded to include whole Australia, various Islands in Oceania, initially colonies were established under the British Indian Empire including New Zealand which was administered as part of New South Wales until 1841.

The period of Indian settlement begins with the earliest known Indian resident of New Zealand, a lascar of Bengali descent from the visiting ship ''City of Edinburgh'' who jumped ship in 1809 in the [[Bay of Islands, New Zealand|Bay of Islands]] to live with a [[Māori people|Māori]] wife.<ref name=":0" /> Another took up residence on [[Stewart Island]] around the same time.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Taonga |first1=New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage Te Manatu |title=2. – Indians – Te Ara: The Encyclopedia of New Zealand |url=https://teara.govt.nz/en/indians/page-2 |website=teara.govt.nz |language=en}}</ref>

Possibly the earliest non-Māori settlers of the [[Otago]] region of [[South Island]] were three Indian [[lascars]] who deserted ship to live among the Māori in 1813.<ref name=antipodes>{{cite book |last1=Bandyopadhyay |first1=Sekhar |last2=Buckingham |first2=Jane |title=Indians and the Antipodes: Networks, Boundaries and Circulation |date=2018 |publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=9780199483624 |ref=Antipodes |language=en}}</ref> There, they assisted the [[Ngāi Tahu]] by passing on new skills and technologies, including how to attack colonial European vessels in the rain when their guns could not be fired.<ref name="antipodes" /> They integrated into Māori culture completely, receiving [[tā moko]] and taking on Māori names. An Indian whaler, Edward (Black) Peter, has found [[Otago gold rush|gold in the Otago region]] in 1858, but was not credited or rewarded for it until 1885.<ref>{{cite book|title=Sari: Indian women at work in New Zealand|last=Pio|first=Edwina|year=2008|isbn=978-1-877399-32-9|page=10, 147}}</ref>

There were a number of Indian soldiers who served New Zealand, 17 are recorded to have served in WWI and WWII.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Indian Service Personnel |url=https://www.aucklandmuseum.com/war-memorial/online-cenotaph/popular-searches/indian |access-date=2024-10-10 |website=Auckland War Memorial Museum |language=en}}</ref> The most well documented of these soldiers being [[Jagt Singh]] who served in Gallipoli during WWI.

The late 1800s and early 1900s saw the first wave of migration of Indians arriving in the country. A number of them came directly to New Zealand but some came via Fiji and others via other British colonies such as Burma. A large number of these early migrants were Indian teenagers, mainly from [[Punjab]] and [[Gujarat]]. They were generally looked after by the Māori community, and tended to have unions with Māori women.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Mayhew |first1=W. R. |title=Tuapeka: The Land and Its People |date=1977 |publisher=Capper Press |location=Clutha District, New Zealand}}</ref>

Official policy in New Zealand to restrict non-European immigration resulted in difficulties for Indians to enter the country in the 1920s. Groups like The White New Zealand League, established in 1926, was opposed to both Chinese and Indian immigration because it was seen as a threat to the economic prosperity of European New Zealanders.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Jamnadas |first1=Bharat |title=Our Pioneers Did Not Have It So Easy |url=https://www.indianweekender.co.nz/Pages/ArticleDetails/52/3722/Editorials/Our-Pioneers-did-not-have-it-so-easy |access-date=25 January 2020}}</ref> In the beginning of the 20the century, Indians were classified as "race aliens", which legally barred from any public service occupation such as police or the army, and also were not receiving any [[pension]]s.<ref>{{cite book|title=Sari: Indian women at work in New Zealand|last=Pio|first=Edwina|year=2008|isbn=978-1-877399-32-9|page=26-27}}</ref> Early Indian migrants consciously chose jobs in remote areas that did not interest [[Pākehā]]: cutting grass, processing flax and digging drains.<ref>{{cite book|title=Sari: Indian women at work in New Zealand|last=Pio|first=Edwina|year=2008|isbn=978-1-877399-32-9|page=20-21}}</ref> The shared experience of discrimination facilitated solidarity between members of different [[Caste system in India|castes]].<ref>{{cite book|title=Sari: Indian women at work in New Zealand|last=Pio|first=Edwina|year=2008|isbn=978-1-877399-32-9|page=21}}</ref> On the other hand, The Shop and Office Act of 1921 allowed all British subjects to own shops and businesses, so many Indians struggling to find other employment became business owners, especially in [[Dairy (New Zealand)|dairies]].<ref>{{cite book|title=Sari: Indian women at work in New Zealand|last=Pio|first=Edwina|year=2008|isbn=978-1-877399-32-9|page=33}}</ref>

Racial tensions between local Indians and Pākehā lasted for decades in [[Pukekohe]]. Until the late 1950s, Indians there were excluded from barbershops, hair salons, bars, and balcony seats in cinemas, and could not join the local growers' association.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Swarbrick |first1=Nancy |title=Indians – 1920s–1930s', Te Ara – the Encyclopedia of New Zealand |url=https://teara.govt.nz/en/indians/page-3 |website=Te Ara |access-date=25 January 2020}}</ref> At this time, a large number of Punjabi Sikhs, who often had farming experience, settled in the [[Waikato]] district and took up dairy farming.

Before the 1970s it remained difficult for Indians not related to the earlier immigrants to enter New Zealand. However, a small number of [[Fijian Indians]] and [[Expulsion of Asians from Uganda|Indian-descent refugees from Uganda]] arrived in the country. By the 1980s, the official attitude towards Asian immigration relaxed and an increased number of Indians arrived in New Zealand.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Taonga |first1=New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage Te Manatu |title=4. – Indians – Te Ara: The Encyclopedia of New Zealand |url=https://teara.govt.nz/en/indians/page-4 |website=teara.govt.nz |language=en}}</ref>

=== Early cultural contact theory ===
In 1885, [[Edward Tregear]] published the controversial book ''The Aryan Maori'' (1885), in which he placed the Māori language in the ranks of the Indo-European language family. He further claimed, that Māori were descended from Hindu Brahmins who spread south from India.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Tregear |first1=Edward |title=The Aryan Maori |date=1885 |language=en}}</ref>

The proportion of Indian New Zealanders born overseas was 76.2%, compared with 27.1% for all ethnicities. Nearly two-thirds (65.7%) of those born in New Zealand were aged under 15.<ref name=":1" />

At the 2013 census, 72.0 percent of Indian New Zealanders aged 15 and over were in the labour force, of which 8.3 percent were unemployed.
