Mr Alexis, I’m sure you have received many many praises about this video. I would like to offer my little congratulations and thank you for bringing the story of Indians arriving in Trinidad to your platform. I appreciate the story telling and your beautiful method or romanticizing the arrival of Indians. What an awesome job. Please continue to recognize all the cultures of Trinidad and Tobago. You are a great artiste. Thank you

[@squishykrishy_]

Thanks for doing this the Indo-Trinidadians will be proud of the sacrifices their ancestors did for them to have a better life now.

[@alexraj9436]

Drinking rum and fighting for land and beating gyal our ancestors would be very ashamed of us today

Great job!!

[@dulciejoseph3679]

What a great presentation. Very educative. I remember the Taskers, men and women leaving home at 4a.m to weed,burn the fields to kill off snakes and "cut cane" .They came home with faces,hands and clothes black with grime. Men and women worked the cane fields. They were paid a pittance but the men,women and children taken from Africa were paid nothing. We must educate the young ones, as you are doing, that Africans and Indians made Trinidad what has become Their lunch kit was sada roti and pepper sauce with a calabash filled with rain water They walked from Tacarigua to Tunapuna or Caroni barefooted to survive. God bless our ancestors from Africa and India who made Trinidad a fantastic place to live, work and invest in business.

[@RogerAlexis]

Well said.

[@jason4275]

The country really need a big economic boost, because many who can afford to leave go to the U.S. Canada and UK, I really hope they find more oil.

Another great piece of Trini 🇹🇹📚 history. By the way Indentured Servitude is also where the term "Coolie" came from.

[@antonjoseph3307]

Wrong, Its a well known word on dock sites and warehouses for laborers who offload and load goods onto ships, trains etc. Basically grunt workers.

[@PoloNius67]

@@antonjoseph3307 I am not wrong. Perhaps you should do some historical research for yourself. I'll start by providing a work entitled: Coolie Woman, author Gaiutra Bahadur. The usage of the term in the Caribbean was greatly associated with British indentured servitude.This is what I meant by the origin of the term.

[@antonjoseph3307]

@@PoloNius67 That does not validate such a claim, Have you done any research other than cite a book that has no linguistic or historical authority?

[@PoloNius67]

[@3amepiphanies954]

They should do one one the patois _"creole"_ language in Trinidad. In those days patois wouldve been the main language in trinidad and west indies (or at least 50/50) I wonder how that language was aquired by the indians or if they spoke it at all? 🤔

[@Darrytheprince]

Its sad really. You ask the average Trinidadian about patwa and they would look at you like you confusing them with a jamaican 🤣

[@Darrytheprince]

Narine Already talk patois! They coulda give him a whole episode on the history 🤣
