THE CHINESE TODAY

Many of the shoe shops lining Bentick Street, near Dharmatolla, are owned and operated by Chinese. A number of restaurants dotting the city are also owned by the Chinese. Fusions of Chinese (especially Hakka ) and Indian culinary traditions have given rise to a widely available form, Indian Chinese Cuisine .
