Sucha Singh Sihota is the grandson of Hukam Singh who worked as a hawker in Leitchville, New South Wales. Hukam Singh periodically repatriated money to India that he
earned from hawking in Australia. Using this money Singh’s family built a house in his native village of Barapind in Punjab. His great grandson and great grand daughter in law
still live in the house and have his portrait hanging above their bed. The same image also hangs on the wall of Sucha Singh Sihota’s house in nearby Jalandhar.
