BACKGROUND
During the late nineteenth century, a considerable number of young Punjabi men sought their fortunes in the Australian colonies, working as hawkers and farm labor. While in Australia they experienced marginalization and high levels of racial vilification by the Anglo-Celtic settler community.
AIMS
To assess the frequency and nature of suicides of Punjabi workers in nineteenth century Australia.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The paper draws on archival sources and contemporary newspaper reports.
RESULTS
A wide range of methods of suicides were observed, with drowning the preferred method.
CONCLUSIONS
This article is the first to collate the data on the suicides and suicide attempts by young Punjabi men working in an immigration country. It can be shown that the suicide rate among Punjabi was almost six times higher than that of the host community.

结论
本文首次整理了在移民国家工作的旁遮普年轻男子自杀及自杀未遂的数据。结果表明，旁遮普人的自杀率几乎是当地社区的六倍。
