Read their story

Migrated to Australia as British subjects after Ghandi was assassinated & India declared her independence. After this event, it was unsafe to reside in India due to riots & massacres by Hindu & Islamic people who were killing anyone of foreign origin. We chose this great country of Australia to migrate to.
