I thought that Scarborough was a mini Dobhi Talao of Toronto? BC

Answer.
Completely wrong.
Scarborough is Peking, Jaffna and Olde England.
It is Mississauga that is mini-Dhobitalao, Zagreb-Bucharest-Warsaw all rolled 
in one and now increasingly Karachi and Lahore.

Remember Dhobitalao was once Bombay?s mini Goa?

Brampton near Toronto and Surrey near Vancouver are mini Punjabs. Bustling and 
affluent but you could be mistaken into thinking you are in Ludhiana - chaat, 
samosa, lassi and all.

Can't understand why there's question mark on Dhobitalao being mini Goa. 
Dhobitalao is still referred to as mini-Goa. Well, Malton was the first Little 
Punjab. Then, Springdale in Mississauga was nicknamed Singhdale.

Gerrard St is still referred to as Little India, though its chsracter has 
changed. I have seen artsy shops there. I ate at a Nepali restaurant. 
Bangladeshis and Sri Lankans have made their presence there in a substantial 
way.

Hi Roland,
A fine video about Brampton & its takeover by the Punjabis.
Interesting to hear that some of the Punjabis are no longer interested in 
returning home to Hindustan.

Why? It's poor, dirty, sub-standard etc.
But they don't care to explain why India is still rubbish today, why half 
the population still defecates in the open in 2018, why the politicians are 
so corrupt, why the Indian degree is worthless, etc etc
