A lot of Indians were tricked into going to the Carribean and not paid the wages they were promised or doing the job they were promised. Some were told that they were just going to a different part of India and were shipped across the Atlantic.
The arcati were the people who tricked our ancestors. In Guyana we say “Harcati” to refer to someone who is a scamp. It’s a direct reflection of this word from India
Just add to those taken to South Africa in the mid of 19th Century.. my grandparents were victims and they left to India sometime in 1910 only to emigrate to British Malaya in 1912.. I for one the third generation living in Malaysia for 68 years now...
As are the Fiji Indians….indentured indeed but in reality were slaves….having said that we are where we are because that was our lot and we thrived in adversity
I was born, brought up and lived in Kerala, India,lived and worked in Calcutta for 4 years and theb moved to USA 50 years ago (in 1973) Today I have learned quite a lot about Indians in the Caribbean Island nations. I have been a "knowledge Hunter" and love to learn about people an d cultures around the world, I will be back - Andrew J. Mathews, Latham,NY (USA)

Proud of my Great Grandparents for coming here to make a better life and so proud till now we Indians here in T&T still carries on our ancestors culture and traditions...
Amazing video - thank you for making this topic. Our school system failed to teach us properly that the Indian diaspora was the largest mass movement of people in the 19th century. One love to my Indian brothers and sisters worldwide from NYC way of GT 🇬🇾
Thank you for this video. I am 68 and never learnt Hindi, as our parents never taught us, using it as their secret language.Of course I know some words and phrases. Indian Indentureship was another form of slavery by trickery. And, as mentioned in the video it was harsher than some aspects of African slavery. Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.
If india was so beautiful why did they came to the west indie?slavery was in india not the west indies they were paid by the british for their services.why Pakistan formed their own country in 1947 cuz indian moslim and Hindus were killing each other and they blamed the british.i am so proud to be a guyanese not an india indian.
Even if it was slavery, that time has passed away. the world is always grappling with new problems & issues. Whenever somebody thinks about ruling the world violence & slavery & mass murders occur. the africans in the U.S.A is a similar community. Democracy is a political system which cannot fight greed & military oppression. Vladimir Putin did not like an armed Poland. the result is war & deaths. duplicity & guile is always a part of politics but then there are people who know that your ideas are bogus & dummy like you. War has to occur.
Don't you love Indians from Jamaica? When I was of school age, my neighbors where Indians. Mom/Dad+ 7 kids. The mom would make roti for us. Was very good. We still see each from time to time.

Trinidad is the only Caribbean island that is 40% of each Indians and Africans. The rest of the people are a mixture if all other cultures including a good amount of Chinese. I am 50% Indian, 25% Chinese, 17% African and 8% European/British. Guyana's largest population is Indian.
All dem coolie people say they are mix of this and that meanwhile they all look 100% Indian ethnicity. Coolie proud of the mix race identity. But you got to understand one fact that Indians are very conservative and strict that they don't get interracial marriages. Hence, they are able to hold their heritage believes and values to date, unlike Africans.
Good video. I didn't know they make such large % there until now. Because of social media now many Indians from Homeland are learning this. Indians also make majority in Fiji and many other Islands. Glad to see they are still maintaining the traditions and remembering the roots. I'm living in USA for last 15 yrs and here also Indians make 4.5 mil plus so far and fastest growing population in USA. Wherever we are we always LOVE India.
The subcontinent of India has within it the dna of every country in the world.. if ever the humans elsewhere were wiped out, Indians would ensure all variety of world races would survive.

It’s amazing how they have preserved their culture, language and food habits through 100’s of years. It impresses me how people brought in as slaves have evolved through generations and still stay connected to their roots.
They were not slaves. Africans were brought as slaves which is why their culture disappeared. Indians migrated as.a family unit to a large extent which kept their culture intact to a point. But as in every case, not valuing what is precious will cause it to be lost.
There is also an Indian population in Belize, although it’s in Central America it is part of CARICOM and considered Caribbean as well. The Caribbean culture is very much alive
@MoneyTeam507 My classmate from India lives there. He has some business.. But unlike carribeam countries, the Indians there seem to be first generation. Who knows ? You may know him.
Indo Caribbean’s have been through absolute hell. Probably some of the worst things have happened to indo Caribbean’s. To think indentured slavery ended only a century ago (1917) is insane. My grand parents were indentured slaves and my parents grew up pre independence. My mom and dad told me horrible stories about them having to hide from the British army and how the British sparked the divide between Afros and Indos. Some say once in Guyana everyone was considered equals. After all we all had to come together and fight for freedom. I hear so many old heads say long ago there was no indo and Afro there was Guyanese and that’s it. This is where “One people, One Nation, One Destiny” comes from. We need to come together like we once were.

Growing up in SE Asia, my only image of the Caribbean is Black people with dreadlocks, raggae music and beaches. Didn't know there are many Indians. Certainly under represented on an international scale. Would love to visit there someday.
@@tiffineemoore2878 😆 🤣 😂 you got to be cooco, there are Indians in SVG, Indians in Jamaica and other Caribbean Islands but not as widespread as those Islands i mentioned before.
Our foreparents work hard an provide for us an for today many of rheir children are doctors lawyers etc etc we even gave an indian arrival day each year on 30 of may divalu eid phawaga alk celebrated here
Good thing with them Indians,they keep moving forward,work hard ,cause no trouble and contribute enormously to the economy of their respective countries they moved to !!They never used the “indentured or servants “card ,to look for excuses!!
Belize is a slightly different case because the Indians who went there under the British were mostly men. They married local women so the Indian culture wasn't preserved. The new wave of Indians are mostly Sindhi Hindus whose family were displaced during the partition that created Pakistan. Sad stories from whatever angle you look at it.
Thanks so much for watching! South Africa mentioned briefly in our previous video, check it out: ruclips.net/video/K4ClMBPqouo/видео.htmlsi=zbT5-LTXUflfVmYj
YOU LEFT OUT AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT. Most of the people of Indian ethnicity in Trinidad & Tobago have been blended with other ethnicities, contributing to the country's diverse multicultural society. My ancestors from India were already mixed with Irish when they were brought by the British to the West Indies during the days of slavery. They willing left India to escape the caste system in India with never to return to that in return to a better life in the Caribbean. It's a pity that with such a rich & wealthy film Industry in India like Bollywood, there is still so much poverty on their streets and more so it should be the #1 role model in the world to rid racism & colour of skin & the caste system after so many centuries.
Kiddo.. U never been to india so don't assume .. By some random western propaganda made videos... Lots of changed from past 15,20 years Myself is from so called lower class(more specically m a secdule caste) .. Never ever faced racism here.. And m from uttar pradesh.. But u what I got being a lower caste.. Free education till college... Free meal in primary schools(btw it's for every student and it's not like wester fried food full of carbs and calories) .. Free Electricity, free grains(rice, wheat, pulse and cooking oil too), money from government to build house who don't have proper house, free water, free cooking gas,.. And also we got reservation in every government sector for jobs and promotion... Unlucky u that ur forefathers never returned.. Now india is reclaiming.. It's a 5th largest economy.. Soon going to be thrird... Their is lots of opportunity here in indian, its 3rd best country for startuo ecosystem. Only after USA and china, 4 biggest stock market, 4th largest car manufacturing, largest 2 and 3 wheller manufacturer, 2 largest mobile manufacturer, etc u name it india is in top 5 list in every sector... Either it's manufacturing, information technology, or advance technology.. Like space exploration, artifical intelligence, etc... That's why whole world invested here.. And u talked about poverty.. Their is 1.5 billion people here so is next to impossible to ericade 100% poverty... Ur world Bank and imf published report last year they say india almost vanished extreme poverty from their country.. Now only less than 3% people are in extere poverty.. If u use logic .. Than go compare ur country with india even country also has some. Percent people who are in poverty.. Maybe it's biiger in percent
Please read about the Industrialisation period in England - the process of enclosure- and the potato famine of the Irish- A similar policy was implemented in India then that brought famine to India every decade by their farming policies during the British period. The caste system is prevalent in every society today, they call it a division of labour and no famine in India after the British were kicked out.
You are so much brainwash . you guys left country but your self hate and self shame is not go away still. Good luck. if you see so much problem then then don't recognise and relate you have Indian ancestry please. it's shame for as that you have Indian ancestry
Your comment smacks of ignorance and hatred for the country of your origin/ your Swadesh/ your Motherland. I could see how you've fallen for propaganda about caste by western media. Caste is not even a Hindu word, it was introduced by Portuguese foreigners as "casta" and maintained by British who ironically have an aristocracy and love to look down on others but nobody talks about that right? They only love hating on India and Hindus and I'm sick of it. I'm so proud of my Swadesh for the strides She's made after the devastating effects of colonialism. Did you know the British stole TRILLIONS from India, including the crown jewel, the Kohinoor? These should be returned. Did you know Winston Churchill caused millions to die from the Bengal Famine in the 1770s when he diverted resources for his troops? Yes, Bhaarat India, once a prosperous country with cities and castles paved with gold became poor under the British. Such slum-like conditions of which you speak did not exist then. And you're spitting on India for not being able to overcome centuries of devastation and invasions fast enough for your liking? Ask colonizers to return their stolen loot first. Also, if caste system was such an issue, why is Narendra Modi from so-called Shudra class the Prime Minister, and why is the President a Dalit woman??? Who can explain this? No one. But, people like you like to bash India, even worse when it's your own Motherland. So unfortunate. Anyhow, Bhaarat is poised to be most developed nation soon and hosted G8 summit recently. Know your facts.
You forgot to mention our worlds famous indo-Guyanese cricketeers…From Guyana: Rohan Khanhai, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Devendra Bishoo and Mahendra Nagamootoo. From T&T: Sunny Ramadin, Daren Ganga etc.
In Suriname the hindus still speaks hindi and bhojpuri both are indian language's . Trinidad and Guyana doesn't speaks in hindi or bhojpuri. I forgot to say Suriname also known as mini india because of the language's

A copper atom, a silver atom, and a gold atom walk into a night-club. The club owner says, “Eh you, get out of here.” Question #1: Who had to leave the club? After the first atom left, a second one followed it. Question #2: Who was the second atom - and what did it say when it was leaving? The club owner says, “Eh Ji, you can stay.” Question #3: Who was the third atom? ---------------------- Answer #1: The Gold Atom - because the owner said, Eh you = Au (Au = Aurum is the chemical name for Gold.) Answer #2: The Copper Atom - and when it left, it said: See you = Cu (Cu = Cuprum is chemical name for Copper.) Answer #3: The Silver Atom - because, the owner said: Eh Ji = Ag (Ag = Argentum is the chemical name for Silver.) .
So the first Indians who were brought in as slaves were allowed to carry their food? How did they get access to Indian spices and dals? In which years did they reconnect with India?
1838-1898 were the start and end of indentured labor to the Caribbean. However the islands were still colonies so ships and movement of people continued until 1919 (or 1925 in two cases we know about where people went back to India). As for food, everything was grown locally (no dirt poor Laborers were importing saffron at that time).
Indians in the British empire were treated differently than other native groups, especially in colonized places, because they served so loyally under British rule in the military. And this kind of caste system was something that existed in India and the British exploited that. The Africans in the Caribbean were not indentured and they continued to live as de-facto slaves even after it supposedly ended and while the Africans could not open shops and businesses, the Indians (and Chinese) were allowed to do so and form a merchant class above Africans. This pattern is common across all British colonies from the Caribbean, to Africa and the Pacific. And Ghandi himself was an outspoken proponent of such a racial caste system in South Afrca.
The Hindus got paid but the slaves did not! I'm glad they're realizing that Africans did work hard labor without pay and they are making lives better for Africans all over the world.
Because we are skill worker . Today world also high skill worker get paid more then just labour. Today in America also if they remove affirmative action , DEI, esg . Then Asian and Indian subcontinent people will take over all things
Hi Urmila thank you for watching. We have a video on Indians in Africa where you will find South Africa. ruclips.net/video/G3TAapy8uhU/видео.htmlsi=ke4ebgQUCkvHPW_q
It appears as if most of the festivals, foods, religious relics and people shown in this video are NOT from the Caribbean. The producer has most of the facts right but what is shown is not authentically Indo-Caribbean.
Alot of the pictures are from the islands . I recognized some from Trinidad and Tobago like the Hanuman statue , pigion point beach in Tobago , and shots of Port Of Spain ,the capital of T&T .
Gandhi was a kaala angrez and his loyalty was towards the british throne. He deliberately delayed the independence of Bharat / India. He was recruiting soldiers to fight for the britishers and at the same time he was preaching non-violence nonsense to Hindus. He is responsible for the death of millions of Hindus with his non-violence nonsense. He was a hard core muslim appeaser and was always protecting them. He allowed the creation of Pakistan and Bangladesh and begged g-hadis not to leave for Pakistan. Gandhi made sure that the policies of the british were continued through Nehru. Hindus are still paying the price for that.
At 2:20, how did these people come from Pakistan and Bangladesh, when those countries did not exist in the 19th century. In fact, even India did not exist until the British unified the different chiefdoms, principalities, kingdoms, castes and tribes of southern Asia. India was a geographical region such as the Sahara desert or the Amazon forest. Even now, India is a single country only in name. People in one region of India don't understand those from other regions. They don't look like one another, often even remotely. The Indian government has no choice, but to use the English to communicate with everyday Indians.
It is the European colonial rulers who sent Indians to Sri Lanka, Mauritius, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, Guyana, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, Fiji, malaysia, Singapore etc to work on sugar, cotton & other plantations as Endentured Labourers ! And today they are Citizens of these Countries !
7273 and thank God the british did we in Guyana and the west indies are so richer for this, so stop running down the British. cant change the past, we in Guyana are happy where we are.
The indians from india were indentured laborers not their off springs who were borned in those countries.They were still considered british india national.

Some say once in Guyana everyone was considered equals. After all we all had to come together and fight for freedom. I hear so many old heads say long ago there was no indo and Afro there was Guyanese and that’s it. This is where “One people, One Nation, One Destiny” comes from.
We need to come together like we once were.
Thank you for sharing!

Growing up in SE Asia, my only image of the Caribbean is Black people with dreadlocks, raggae music and beaches. Didn't know there are many Indians. Certainly under represented on an international scale. Would love to visit there someday.
Thanks for watching! So grateful for your interaction
Wait till you hear about the Chinese, Arabs, Europeans, Amerindians, Jews etc 😅
The whole Caribbean has Indians decent , however the majority of them is prominent in Trinadad, Suriname and Guyana. Thank you for the information.
Thank you so much for your feedback Bless Up
Nope not the whole caribbean only trini and guyana the rest of us are pure african

Good thing with them Indians,they keep moving forward,work hard ,cause no trouble and contribute enormously to the economy of their respective countries they moved to !!They never used the “indentured or servants “card ,to look for excuses!!

Belizean Chutney🇧🇿🇮🇳
Never heard that when I was in San Pedro and Caye Caulker 🇧🇿
Oooft I hope that Chutney tastes good
Belize is a slightly different case because the Indians who went there under the British were mostly men. They married local women so the Indian culture wasn't preserved. The new wave of Indians are mostly Sindhi Hindus whose family were displaced during the partition that created Pakistan. Sad stories from whatever angle you look at it.
There are Indians in belize?
@@headhonchotheone9041 Yes, East Indians have one of the smallest ethnic groups in Belize.
All of those chutney singers featured are Trinidadians , chutney music is originally from Trinidad.

How are the islanders holding up after Beryl?
No. Actually life is very hard for people of South East Asian origin in the Caribbean. There are several documents that discuss this.
YOU LEFT OUT AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT. Most of the people of Indian ethnicity in Trinidad & Tobago have been blended with other ethnicities, contributing to the country's diverse multicultural society. My ancestors from India were already mixed with Irish when they were brought by the British to the West Indies during the days of slavery. They willing left India to escape the caste system in India with never to return to that in return to a better life in the Caribbean. It's a pity that with such a rich & wealthy film Industry in India like Bollywood, there is still so much poverty on their streets and more so it should be the #1 role model in the world to rid racism & colour of skin & the caste system after so many centuries.
Thank you so much for the input Vanesha
Kiddo.. U never been to india so don't assume .. By some random western propaganda made videos... Lots of changed from past 15,20 years
Myself is from so called lower class(more specically m a secdule caste) ..
Never ever faced racism here.. And m from uttar pradesh..
But u what I got being a lower caste..
Free education till college... Free meal in primary schools(btw it's for every student and it's not like wester fried food full of carbs and calories) .. Free Electricity, free grains(rice, wheat, pulse and cooking oil too), money from government to build house who don't have proper house, free water, free cooking gas,.. And also we got reservation in every government sector for jobs and promotion... Unlucky u that ur forefathers never returned.. Now india is reclaiming.. It's a 5th largest economy.. Soon going to be thrird... Their is lots of opportunity here in indian, its 3rd best country for startuo ecosystem. Only after USA and china, 4 biggest stock market, 4th largest car manufacturing, largest 2 and 3 wheller manufacturer, 2 largest mobile manufacturer, etc u name it india is in top 5 list in every sector... Either it's manufacturing, information technology, or advance technology.. Like space exploration, artifical intelligence, etc... That's why whole world invested here..
And u talked about poverty.. Their is 1.5 billion people here so is next to impossible to ericade 100% poverty... Ur world Bank and imf published report last year they say india almost vanished extreme poverty from their country.. Now only less than 3% people are in extere poverty..
If u use logic .. Than go compare ur country with india even country also has some. Percent people who are in poverty.. Maybe it's biiger in percent
Please read about the Industrialisation period in England - the process of enclosure- and the potato famine of the Irish- A similar policy was implemented in India then that brought famine to India every decade by their farming policies during the British period. The caste system is prevalent in every society today, they call it a division of labour and no famine in India after the British were kicked out.
You are so much brainwash . you guys left country but your self hate and self shame is not go away still. Good luck. if you see so much problem then then don't recognise and relate you have Indian ancestry please. it's shame for as that you have Indian ancestry
Your comment smacks of ignorance and hatred for the country of your origin/ your Swadesh/ your Motherland. I could see how you've fallen for propaganda about caste by western media. Caste is not even a Hindu word, it was introduced by Portuguese foreigners as "casta" and maintained by British who ironically have an aristocracy and love to look down on others but nobody talks about that right? They only love hating on India and Hindus and I'm sick of it. I'm so proud of my Swadesh for the strides She's made after the devastating effects of colonialism. Did you know the British stole TRILLIONS from India, including the crown jewel, the Kohinoor? These should be returned. Did you know Winston Churchill caused millions to die from the Bengal Famine in the 1770s when he diverted resources for his troops? Yes, Bhaarat India, once a prosperous country with cities and castles paved with gold became poor under the British. Such slum-like conditions of which you speak did not exist then. And you're spitting on India for not being able to overcome centuries of devastation and invasions fast enough for your liking? Ask colonizers to return their stolen loot first. Also, if caste system was such an issue, why is Narendra Modi from so-called Shudra class the Prime Minister, and why is the President a Dalit woman??? Who can explain this? No one. But, people like you like to bash India, even worse when it's your own Motherland. So unfortunate. Anyhow, Bhaarat is poised to be most developed nation soon and hosted G8 summit recently. Know your facts.
You forgot to mention our worlds famous indo-Guyanese cricketeers…From Guyana: Rohan Khanhai, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Devendra Bishoo and Mahendra Nagamootoo.
From T&T: Sunny Ramadin, Daren Ganga etc.

Ho in Suriname is speaking Hindi now because you all form some part of India living in Suriname some of us in Trinidad understand Hindi very well
Thank you so much for your feedback
Keep the peace
In Suriname the hindus still speaks hindi and bhojpuri both are indian language's . Trinidad and Guyana doesn't speaks in hindi or bhojpuri. I forgot to say Suriname also known as mini india because of the language's
You never reach an india indian they think think they are better than you but they are garage. I see them every day in Brampton canada
Still spoken. And still used in songs, prayers and religious practice
India is not the second largest country in the world. There's a difference between population and size of a country.
😂😂 it’s true I was a bit confused by that
Maybe you need to actually visit these places instead of googling and using google photos. The pic of the Indo Trinidadian isnt even Indo Trinidadian.
Will you give him money for travel? How do you know the Pic is not Trinidadian anyway? 🤔
How many of them came to U.S and Canada?

A copper atom, a silver atom, and a gold atom walk into a night-club. The club
owner says, “Eh you, get out of here.” Question #1: Who had to leave the club?
After the first atom left, a second one followed it. Question #2:
Who was the second atom - and what did it say when it was leaving?
The club owner says, “Eh Ji, you can stay.” Question #3: Who was the third atom?
----------------------
Answer #1: The Gold Atom - because the owner said,
Eh you = Au (Au = Aurum is the chemical name for Gold.)
Answer #2: The Copper Atom - and when it left, it said:
See you = Cu (Cu = Cuprum is chemical name for Copper.)
Answer #3: The Silver Atom - because, the owner said:
Eh Ji = Ag (Ag = Argentum is the chemical name for Silver.)
.
So the first Indians who were brought in as slaves were allowed to carry their food? How did they get access to Indian spices and dals? In which years did they reconnect with India?
1838-1898 were the start and end of indentured labor to the Caribbean. However the islands were still colonies so ships and movement of people continued until 1919 (or 1925 in two cases we know about where people went back to India).
As for food, everything was grown locally (no dirt poor Laborers were importing saffron at that time).
We will not go to sleep with waters, Indian laborers. We were paid, so stop trying to put us down please or put in your self down.

Afro Surinamese still are nr 1 in Suriname with 36% but they are divided in maroons and creoles
Indians in the British empire were treated differently than other native groups, especially in colonized places, because they served so loyally under British rule in the military. And this kind of caste system was something that existed in India and the British exploited that. The Africans in the Caribbean were not indentured and they continued to live as de-facto slaves even after it supposedly ended and while the Africans could not open shops and businesses, the Indians (and Chinese) were allowed to do so and form a merchant class above Africans. This pattern is common across all British colonies from the Caribbean, to Africa and the Pacific. And Ghandi himself was an outspoken proponent of such a racial caste system in South Afrca.
Appreciate this feedback, thanks so much for watching!
Leftout Puerto Rico, please update.
Thanks Marielisa for watching and for the input!
there are many discrepancies in this video
The Hindus got paid but the slaves did not! I'm glad they're realizing that Africans did work hard labor without pay and they are making lives better for Africans all over the world.
Because we are skill worker . Today world also high skill worker get paid more then just labour. Today in America also if they remove affirmative action , DEI, esg . Then Asian and Indian subcontinent people will take over all things
Why was president NOOR HASANALI , And KAMAL. MOHAMMED left out
U know why. Read some of the comments
There was no pakistan and bangladesh in 1830 to 1931. Pakistan was created in august 1947.Bangladesh was created in 1971. It was called British India.
Thank you

It appears as if most of the festivals, foods, religious relics and people shown in this video are NOT from the Caribbean. The producer has most of the facts right but what is shown is not authentically Indo-Caribbean.

Alot of the pictures are from the islands . I recognized some from Trinidad and Tobago like the Hanuman statue , pigion point beach in Tobago , and shots of Port Of Spain ,the capital of T&T .

Gandhi was a kaala angrez and his loyalty was towards the british throne. He deliberately delayed the independence of Bharat / India. He was recruiting soldiers to fight for the britishers and at the same time he was preaching non-violence nonsense to Hindus. He is responsible for the death of millions of Hindus with his non-violence nonsense. He was a hard core muslim appeaser and was always protecting them. He allowed the creation of Pakistan and Bangladesh and begged g-hadis not to leave for Pakistan. Gandhi made sure that the policies of the british were continued through Nehru. Hindus are still paying the price for that.
@@satveerrudra8424thanks for clearing that up. Our history books are filled with a lot of lies and the traitor Gandhi is often portrayed as a hero.
Many people would say guyana is not a caribbean.. Guyana is a west indian
Not to forget, places like St.Thomas in the USVI
Can you add a few lines about the virgin islands? How/when Indians got there and how are they doing now?
At 2:20, how did these people come from Pakistan and Bangladesh, when those countries did not exist in the 19th century. In fact, even India did not exist until the British unified the different chiefdoms, principalities, kingdoms, castes and tribes of southern Asia. India was a geographical region such as the Sahara desert or the Amazon forest. Even now, India is a single country only in name. People in one region of India don't understand those from other regions. They don't look like one another, often even remotely. The Indian government has no choice, but to use the English to communicate with everyday Indians.
Thanks for your input Christian
The first Muslim head of state in the western hemisphere was Hon. Noor Hassanali president of Trinidad and Tobago

India, now, first largest country ahead of China as of 2024
you are absolutely right. the information was incorrect. Canada 🇨🇦 is the world secon largest country not India
It is the European colonial rulers who sent Indians to Sri Lanka, Mauritius, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, Guyana, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, Fiji, malaysia, Singapore etc to work on sugar, cotton & other plantations as Endentured Labourers ! And today they are Citizens of these Countries !
