ABSTRACT

As British subjects, Punjabi men emigrated to various British colonies in search of economic opportunities. This paper examines the pattern and extent of Punjabi immigration to the colony (and later state) of Victoria (Australia). The overall numbers show a steady increase until 1901 when the passage of the Immigration Restriction Act effectively terminated all immigration from South Asia and East Asia. The data also show that, on a decadal level, the age of immigrants steadily increased.

关上门：十九世纪末二十世纪初旁遮普移民到维多利亚（澳大利亚）的模式

摘要

作为英国臣民，旁遮普人移民到各个英国殖民地寻找经济机会。本文考察了旁遮普移民到维多利亚（澳大利亚）殖民地（以及后来的州）的模式和范围。直到 1901 年《移民限制法》的通过有效地终止了来自南亚和东亚的所有移民，总人数一直在稳步增长。数据还显示，在十年的水平上，移民的年龄稳步上升。
