- Presenting you 2nd of the Milaap Trilogy films. Produced with much appreciated assistance from the Government of India Tourist Department, this film shows my first visit to my ancestral home in India after 10 years of search and 3 previous visits to India. We also visit Thakur Ranjit Singh's ancestral village in Rajasthan and attempt to search for several other girmitiyas ancestral home in India.
The final film in Milaap Trilogy-the Land of South Indian Girmitiyas will follow shortly.
Dr Satish Rai
PS: We need your support to send these films to as many descendants of indentured Indians (Girmitiyas) in Fiji and globally as possible. Unfortunately TV channels in Fiji refused to screen these films for benefit of our community there.
Thanks to integrate and communicate the girmitia community of the world to India. .🌈🌈🙏🙏🙏
Indians still maintaining their culture and language is wonderful.. love to all the brave guys who left for a long and dangerous journey to a unknown land
Amazing history indeed.In India change of religion due social boundaries make bothers and sisters like the two banks of a river never to meet again. Yet the love to find roots can develop affection among the diaspora.
This is also happening in the neighbouring countries like Pak Bangladesh. Families who got separated in partition 47 are searching the near ones and relatiives till today.
It looks India is very very vast and we can find ourselves everywhere around the globe. Interesting thing.
Love to Fijians 💜
Aap log kitane mihnati hain ..... i extend my best wishes Sir......
My grandparents travelled by Sutlej from Calcutta to Suriname in 1919. Unfortunately I cannot trace anybody back in India. The village they came from is now where the IIT Kanpur is located.
George Mannoe i m from nearby area but u cannot track them as it denesly populated area also every other person is outsider labour class( no details verification) so u can visit india will get same feeling. Most of indians can help u but british history never mentioned u ppl so maximum ppl r unaware of our ppl in carribean fiji mauritus
so you are punjabi

Heart touching history of Satish rai ancestors moving from India to Fiji and he successfully discovered his roots and birth land of his family. One day I am also thinking to search of my grand fathers family of bihar or culcutta in india
Great to know that we all can find our long lost families..thank you!
Dr. Ashok Tripathi - You are adding a new chapter in history. You are an inspiration for new researchers.
Hardly any research has been done on the 1 million families in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar from girmityas were recruited, taken to Calcutta, and then transported to colonies for cheap labor. These families are from a relatively small area surrounding Azamgarh. The social, economic, and physiological effects of stealing these young men, women, and children on these families have not been researched and documented. The ongoing effects of these families, the village and this are (which I have called Girmit Nagar) has never been spoken about. This area remains among the poorest not only in UP and Bihar but in India as well. What correlation exists between the removal of these Indians from this area and the existing poverty remains to be explored.
Satish Rai Ji aapke forefather ka uttar pradesh me pata laga kya agar pata lag gaya hai to aap apane channel pe videos load kare🙏🙏
nice don't know were my roots belongs to...as this is my story too.thanks ..
Seems like no one in world cares the fate of the Girmiters in Fiji. Not even the perpetrators who brought them to Fiji in first place. Thank you for all the endeavors that have under taken on be half of the Girmiters and their families
I have no words to explain for the wonderful job that you have done. Just amazing as to how you got the details together for us to discover more abouit our roots.Thanks many.
Hello Satendra, we at Raivision really appreciate positive feedback from our community members....today..after very hard and trying day it is really great to read your words of appreciation regarding our creative work...these words motivates us to keep on producing creative works for our community.... Thanks.
well done Satish
Great work, well done. We hope to trace our roots on day as well.
Hi Satish Rai I think you are a smart man I like how you talk think and do things Awesome...
Ramesh ji sir, Great Work, Well Done.
happy new year 2016 . aap ko subh ho.
This is the scale of mess Britain left in empire, now that mother India is growing stronger she should extend the full hand of opportunity for the majority of these ex empire indians to return safely to India especially those in Fiji where the economic and other factors are diminishing, if that is a viable option.
Definitely!! There's no two ways about it, reparations should be paid back to India.
@@vishaallal2605 what? How about reparation to all the descendants of the workers who were slaved in Fiji?!?! With over a billion population, you think india is going g to do something? India is in shambles with COVID. They will never be able to build up only going down on bollywood will gain.
Believe me no indo Fijian will ever want 2 return and live on India full time. For a gisitb..yes..but not 2 live there..life is gud in Fiji and we are very different from Indians there.
They should be granted Indian citizenship or at least or OCI card to trace . Or facilitate investment etc
@@blissful249They need citizenship rights which they don’t have rights get now. Almost second class’!
We are from Trinidad there is a large population of Indians living dear we still keep our culture.
We have our ancestors went to fiji in 23march 1901 . I have some documents . How to trace them. They are searching through agencies.
Emigration no. 22322.
Thank you for this great insight.
We in South Africa are also searching for our GIRMITYA family members from India.
Can you please share details of your roots. I will try to help you out.
@@MrPrachand Thank you for your response.
Unfortunately, I don't have any access to documentation, the members of my family who where trying to gather the necessary information have passed on thus, all the paperwork have been destroyed.
@kemchanlall , oh, that's sad to hear. Do you have any idea as to which which part of India your ancestors belonged to. Maybe that will give us a lead.
I was given to understand that my Par Dadha came from Kanpur. However, I'm not entirely sure about this. I will try to gather some information & get back to you.

The service should be unalloyed not with some motivation.
Fear creates so much disturbances in the society. It’s very painful that the oppositions doesn’t have any pain for others feelings.You are right Sri pushpendra Kulshestra ji Talwar ke aage shalwar pahan liya..,

I want to find my ancestors from india also how can i where i m from i know only my family is from siktur jila and nothing more
Please write to me on my email address with all the information you have including the name(s) of the girmityas you are trying to trace...raivisionfilm@gmail.com
Ramendran Reddy ur surname suggests ur location should be andhra prasesh or Telangna
@@spicylifevlogs8355 right
How can we back track our ancestors real place of India and there relatives currently living in India. I really want to know my relatives living in India
Please contact me on my email: raivisionfilm@gmail.com with what information you have on the girmitya ancestors you are searching
itne sare Indian fiji gye kyu the aur kb?
They were brought by the Britishers during the period 1834-1920 for sugarcane plantation as a form of indentured labour of 5 years aggrement.but unfortunately they never came back to India even after completing their contract period. So they stayed there. And their grandsons or great grandsons are still there.
@ Chetna Sharma 1879 first Ship ( Leonidas) arrived in Fiji with indentured laboures from India.
The story of Indian punjabi Muslims is more painful. Their relatives in east Punjab migrated to Pakistan, thus their descend in Fiji and they parted forever. My father migrated from Jalandhar distt. to Pakistan, a person from his village went to Fiji just the second day of his marriage, in 1940.His wife spent a lone life here in pakistan.
This documentary is on the Indians who were transported from India to Fiji between 1879 to 1917. They are known as the girmityas. If the person from Jalandhar migrated to Fiji in 1940, he is not a girmitya but migrated to Fiji as a free migrant. He had liberty to return to India whenever he wanted. I don't know why he did not return. But his story is very different from that of the girmityas.
@@SatishRai Thank you for your reply. Problem is that he cannot return to India, because all his dear ones, in fact whole Muslim population of his province migrated to Pakistan and settled in areas unknown to him, and his family here didn't know his whereabouts in Fiji.
@@afifurrehman7895 I surely can understand the issues he would have faced back in Fiji. The partition has impacted millions of people, many were also killed. It had many victims, many suffering even today. Late Dr Ahmed Ali was researching on the Muslim Fiji girmityas when I had met him in Fiji in 2003. I don't know whether he had manged to complete and publish his research because he had died a few short years later.
I sent them our vanshawali since 1844 till date through agency.
I don’t trust any agency in India to conduct the ancestral searches honestly. Many are there to make money from those who are searching. If you want to know more send me an email on raivisionfilm@gmail.com. Include any information and your ancestral pass.
Should I share here the details. On this platform?
@@rajendraprasadyadav3925 please don’t. Send me email.
I'm from India u can send me your details I will try to search

ये लोग राय थे मतलब भूमिहार ब्राहाम्ण थे, मुगलो के भय से बहुत से लोगो ने मजहब बदल लिया था , ये उन्ही में से हैं।
Please watch the film again. My ancestors did not convert during mugul time but around 1860. Don’t misinform people.
OZAS FARMING don’t talk rubbish. They sre of British modern era time when revolt agsibst brtish hapoened mughul was failed at that time no kings only whites
@@spicylifevlogs8355 राज ब्रिटिश था लेकिन लोकल मुख्तार नवाब या छोटे राजा ही थे, और नवाबो छोटे मुस्लिम राजाओं के इलाके में बड़े पैमाने पर हिन्दुओ का मजहब बदलवाए गए तलवार के बल पर।
OZAS FARMING whats the point here? His poor girmitiya anxestors moved either forcefully or poor condition.
@@SatishRaiजी,गिरमिटिया की कहानी रुला देती है।पता नहीं बोलीवुड ने आज तक इनकी कहानी पर फिल्म क्यों नहीं बनायी?जहाँ तक जानता हूँ,आप एक फिल्मकार हैं। आपको एक प्रयास करना चाहिए।
ये रिपोर्टर भोषणी का पढ़ा लिखा नहीं है क्या
Woh afford nhi karr sakte the isliye volunteer rakha
Interviewer speaks with pan masala in his mouth !!this is not his house .He is in front of millions
He was a guide provided by UP government to assist me. He was kind enough to act as the interviewer as I could not afford one myself. I agree that he should not have chewed paan when interviewing and I noticed it only when I was editing the film in Sydney. He was from Benaras and I suppose he was used to chewing paan as a habit. Does not look good, but this is one of the hazards a small independent filmmaker with little funds has to connect with. I hope you at least appreciated what I tried to do in this film and have some words to share about that as well.
@ 20 min mark the interviewer eating whilst interviewing is the worst shit I ever seen during an interview.
Sale paan khake up ka naam kharab kar rahe hoo.
Sad that they converted to Islam
