[@guidedadaji381]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[@verchoon]

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.

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.

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?

[@booksusa5995]

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).

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.

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.

[@sirg3137]

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

Good video, I didn't know carribean had/has so many Indians.. Great Info.. Indians are simple, nice and more importantly humble.... I just feel sad that they went as slaves....I don't know how to put it...but Indians by large Tolerated BAD Persian,muslim,British rulers... and we didn't become that bitter, still tolerant.. I guess it's the Hindu Culture that played BIG PART ie accepting and believing in KARMA Thank you for sharing this video🙏🙏🙏

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.

[@verchoon]

​@@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.
