Just a snap looking at India Street..again and again.(One of the oldest street in Kuching).As you know I generally snap of what ever ideas that come and what to picture,like to show you an ordinary street scene now and then .So this is the India Street Pedestrian Mall.
The street derives its name from the fact that it has always been street occupied by the Indian shop.Most of the Indians are from the southern and northern India.At first it was called as he Kling Street in the 1850's,but the Third White Rajah of Sarawak,Sir Charles Vyner Brooke changed the name to India Street in 1928.In 1992 the street was closed to vehicular traffic and converted into a pedestrian mall.
