      They were paid contracted workers, not slaves. In most cases they begged to be allowed to stay instead of going back to India after their contracts expired.

      Half of the diaspora mixed with black population, that’s why people talk about it less. The identity is diluted

      For example, Kamala Harris, Nicki Minaj, tyla are results of this mix.

    3. There is a massive and discernible difference between slavery and indentured servitude

      Seems to be missing the Indians brought to modern day Myanmar. Many Indians are 3rd or 4th generation Myanmar born and still seen as second class citizens here as a result.

      Rishi and Zohran’s East African Indian roots are in the wealthy mercantile community not the indentured labour groups. There are very much class and caste issues at play.

      I worked in two pharmacies as a technician and one colleague from one pharmacy was a person of Indian descent from Fiji and another person from another pharmacy was a person of Indian descent from Guyana.

      I knew the British basically brought Indians as slaves to most of those places indicated but didn’t know so many were brought to Guyana and Mauritius. I wonder if British kids are taught this is school. This is well after “formal” slavery was ended in the empire. I have friends of Indian decent here in Canada from Guyana, Trinidad and Fiji so I was aware of this for a long time.

      Can someone explain how 431,000 ended up in Mauritius to me? Isn’t that a small island? Like …where did they go ?

      That may be the case however they were paid, despite it being a pittance. They endured very difficult times however likely not as difficult as the slaves brought over to the west from east Africa.

    11. Oh its talked about. But as youll noticed only 50ish thousand got anywhere near america which is reddits bread and butter. For those of us who work the other areas they went to, the Indian presence is well known

      And the Indian Government is still doing the same to most of its citizens today.

    13. Lol funny to see slavery and colonial apologists tie themselves up in little knots trying to whitewash their favourite time of history.
