Unlike the majority of [[Fiji]]'s [[Indo-Fijians|Indian]] population, who are descendants of Indian [[indenture]]d labourers brought to Fiji between 1879 and 1916, most of the [[Sikhs]] came to Fiji as free [[immigrant]]s. Most Sikhs established themselves as farmers. Sikhs also came to Fiji as policemen, teachers and preachers. In recent years large numbers of Sikhs have emigrated from Fiji, especially to the [[United States]], [[Canada]], the [[United Kingdom]], [[Australia]] and [[New Zealand]]. Sikhs in Fiji are generally referred to as [[Punjabis]]. | Unlike the majority of [[Fiji]]'s [[Indo-Fijians|Indian]] population, who are descendants of [[Indian]] [[indenture]]d labourers brought to Fiji between 1879 and 1916, most of the [[Sikhs]] came to Fiji as free [[immigrant]]s.
