Hindoo Road, Singapore
Hindoo Road is a minor road in
Singapore's Little India. It is a one way road with traffic entering at
Kampong Kapor Road and exiting at
Serangoon Road. According to
Singapore Street Names1, the road was originally known as Hindu Lane. It was so named because of the Tamil community, who are Hindus, living in the area. For some reason, the road was spelled Hindoo Road rather than Hindu Road.
