There is a small community of '''Indians in Taiwan''' consisting mainly of immigrants and expatriates from [[India]]. As of April 2013, there are about 1,900 Indian residents in [[Taiwan]].<ref name="NIA"/>

==Overview==
Indians have been coming to Taiwan since the 1980s — mainly businessmen, jewelers, and scientists. The first Indians to arrive were a community of [[Sindhi people|Sindhi]] traders. This community used to have around 200 families, but now numbers only 40 or 50 as the majority of them have migrated to China, mainly to [[Guangzhou]]. Another similar-sized early group of Indians is made up of families in the diamond and precious stones trade who sell their wares to Taiwanese jewelers.<ref>[http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/world/archives/2009/01/20/2003434182 : COMMUNITY COMPASS: FEATURE: Indians see presence in Taiwan grow - page 1]</ref><ref>[http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/world/archives/2009/01/20/2003434182/2 : COMMUNITY COMPASS: FEATURE: Indians see presence in Taiwan grow - page 2]</ref>

As a part of its "[[Look East policy (India)|Look East]]" foreign policy, India has sought to cultivate extensive ties with Taiwan in trade and investment as well as developing cooperation in science & technology, environment issues and people-to-people exchanges.<ref name="CC">[http://www.c3sindia.org/taiwan/98/taiwan-india-new-friends/ Taiwan-India: New Friends?]</ref> These exchanges have led to a minor influx of Indians into Taiwan, with small groups of Indian nationals springing up in several locations near the country's larger universities, most notably in [[Hsinchu]] and [[Taipei]]. Currently, there are almost about 100 Indian scientists alone at the [[Academia Sinica]].

== Education ==
In 2003, figures indicate that only 5 Indian students were enrolled on programmes in Taiwan, growing to 409 in 2007. By 2018, there were 2,398 Indian students studying in Taiwan, showing a 15-year growth of almost 48,000%. The number of Indian students in Taiwan rose by 56% between 2017 and 2018. This was deemed, according to the Taiwan Ministry of Education, as being due to a combination of low tuition fees in the country and easier availability of post-study work permits to foreign graduates. <ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.globaleducationtimes.org/news/asia/number-of-indian-students-in-taiwan-grows-56-in-2018/951/|title=Number Of Indian Students In Taiwan Grows 56% In 2018|last=Srinivasan|first=Hari|date=November 19, 2019|work=Global Education Times}}</ref>

==Culture==
[[Yoga]], [[Clothing in India|Indian fashion]] and [[Dance in India|dance]] are popular among many the ethnic Indians living in the country. [[Ayurveda|Ayurvedic]] spas are cropping up in big hotels and beauty salons nationwide and there are also many Indian restaurants across the country. Many Indian festivals such as [[Diwali]] and [[Holi]] are celebrated by the Indian community in Taiwan.<ref>[http://www.therealtaiwan.com/indians-in-taiwan-diwali-festival-of-lights/1068: Indians in Taiwan: Diwali Festival of Lights]</ref><ref>[http://www.chinapost.com.tw/taiwan/int%5C%27l--community/2009/03/15/200223/Kaleidoscope-of.htm: Indians in Taiwan: Kaleidoscope of merrymaking for Hindu festival]</ref>
