A Chindian is a person of both Chinese and Indian ancestry. There are a considerable number of Chindians in Malaysia and Singapore, where people of Chinese and Indian origin immigrated in large numbers during the 19th century. There are also smaller numbers of Chindians in Hong Kong and other countries with overseas Chinese and Indian diaspora such as Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana in the Caribbean, as well as the United States and United Kingdom.
