Hi Pennyben; my gut reaction was that I've never seen any Indian/Punjabi areas in Holland (I could be wrong). Indian's don't even register in the racial mix published on wikki, which suggests they make up less than 0.39% (which is the smallest single national denomination - Chinese) of a miscellaneous racial group which numbers only 6.5% of the whole population. This link tells us that there are circa 32,000 Indians living in Holland overall, but doesn't tell us where they live.

I guess that explains why I've never seen any Indian/Punjabi areas, there aren't enough living here to develop into a community. Maybe a search for a Dutch Indian group on Facebook may help?

Not sure if this helps answer your question, but I'm sure you'll have a great time in Holland; most people do.
