==History==
The first immigrants from India to have arrived in Peru were businessmen who had gone there in the early 1960s.

There is also a small number of expatriate professionals from India in the country and a few of them have obtained Peruvian citizenship – not more than 10 out of a total number of almost forty persons.

==Culture==
While a few Indian cultural activities are organised, in general, the Indian community in Peru maintained a low profile. Due to the vast distance that separates the community from India, the interest in their country of origin is limited to major events, mainly derived from occasional browsing on the internet. But being invariably first generation migrants, many of them do occasionally visit India.

Most of them speak only their mother tongue and [[Spanish language|Spanish]], with a smattering of [[English language|English]].
