Little India was never intended by Sir Stamford Raffles to be an area designated for Singapore's Indian community. Instead, it developed its identity organically over the years becoming an enclave for the Indians. However, its reputation of rich culture, heritage and food options became tainted with the Little India Riot about a decade ago.
