Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Scattered throughout the remains of the British and to a lesser extent the French empires in Africa, Southeast Asia, the West Indies and the Pacific, are today found long-settled people of Indian origin. Most of them are descendants of Indian indentured labourers who were exported continually from India beginning in 1834 to meet the shortage of labour on European plantations caused by the abolition of slavery. Altogether, some one million Indians were thus transplanted. The labourers left India under an apparently voluntarily accepted contract which stipulated, among other things, the condition of employment, remuneration for labour, and an optional free return passage to India at the end of ten years 'industrial residence' in the colonies. They had departed, moreover, under the firm belief that they would return soon, after they had acquired the fortune, they were told awaited them in the colonies. Many did return; but for the majority, the intended sojourn was, in the course of time, transformed into permanent displacement. The life and struggle of these labourers in the colonies has bequeathed a legacy whose full implications have yet to be grasped.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Indentureship for Indian labourers was never a single story. It was harsh, painful, and often dehumanising, yet it was also chosen by many who saw in it a narrow but vital escape from crushing poverty, domestic violence, and caste based oppression. On the long, uncertain voyage across the kala pani, strangers forged bonds of solidarity that carried them through the worst years of indenture, especially in places like Trinidad and Tobago where shipboard friendships became the foundations of new communities. Once on the plantations, the indentured generation worked relentlessly to improve their lives. They built homes, saved wages, educated their children, and carved out dignity in systems designed to deny it. When their contracts ended, most chose to remain, determined to claim the lands where they had laboured as the sites of their future freedom. Their journey was not without turmoil. Inter ethnic tensions in Fiji, Guyana, Mauritius, and South Africa tested the resilience of these emerging diasporas. Yet post indenture communities, particularly those of South Indian origin, met these challenges with remarkable perseverance. From those struggles rose generations of descendants who went on to achieve international distinction across politics, culture, academia, and public life. Their legacy is one of endurance, reinvention, and quiet triumph. …
