The majority of the Klings (Kalingas), or Hindus, who are found in Pegu, Penang, Singapore and other places in the further east are Tamilians; a large portion of the coolies who have emigrated in such numbers to the Mauritius and to the West Indian colonies are Tamilians; in short, wherever money is to be made, wherever a more apathetic or a more aristocratic people is waiting to pushed aside, thither swarm the Tamilians, the Greeks or Scotch of the east, the least superstitious and the most enterprising and perservering race of the Hundus.
