This is super cool to watch. I'm from Durban, South Africa. Durban is the largest predominantly Indian city outside of India. My ancestors came here around the same time that other Indians went to the West Indies and Mauritius... and to do the same (work on the Sugar Cane Plantations). I am also very curious about the cultures and lifestyles of my Indian brothers and sisters in other parts of the world. Not recent migrants, but third or fourth generation Indians in other places that our forefathers went to around the 1840's-1850's. Peace and love to you all.

Heyy! So I'm a Indo Trini and I could tell you that a lot of the Indian culture have been... Somewhat integrated. Food and music especially-- but the language have been disappear. Only the Hindu priest can speak the language. Guyana had a little more Indian influence in their country.
Ik the Fiji islands Indian have kept there Indian culture. Food, language and overall culture is strong 💪
@@justinpersad401 yes indeed Guyanese continued support of the Indian subcontinent...I'm mix Guyanese Indian predominantly...
@@justinpersad401 HI Justin nice comments
Love you from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 when ever you want you come to India
PARTHA NAYAK we suffered a lot at the hands of the British. I would love to visit Bihar & Uttar Pradesh where we were taken from in the 1800’s.
See what British had done to the Indians , ship them to foreign land against their will , they didn't have no choice but got to go , leaving their family behind , but today through technology we are trying to find our roots in India . Love from Fiji
Sounds a lot like the africans
Love you from India
Pete Singh Trinidad, Guyana, Suriname, Fiji & Mauritius are Bhojpuri brothers
They left willingly for better opportunities, they were not forced.
@@mstemplgod2717 , False promise is the main reason for migration, Its like another form of slavery
My ancestors came from India,what a journey! I am proud what they contributed to Trinidad West Indies They were and still are farmers. I do love Farming❤
Fascinating to read about the history of these nations....I'm proud to have friends from both Guyana and Trinidad.
Some came willing some were fooled and brought along their hardworking and determination made affluence for the future generations we are proud and honour their efforts in courage strength love and culture that never died continue to go on
unfortunately, we Indians in the Caribbean have lost our language...but the cultural and religious traditions are still the same as it was when our ancestors arrived in 1845...we hold what we have in high regard...
We also lost our language among many other cultural and spiritual traditions.... We were all uprooted.....And we also suffered the most.....

Don't worry where there is will there is way... You can still learn bhojpuri and culture... Reply me ...Online free classes are always there
Proud to be a Jamaican Indian born & bred out of many one People we mixed up with All races who were in Jamaica and it's beautiful to see our offsprings today learning their history so it's important for older generations to speak truth and not hide truth from the younger generations many want's to change the True facts which is a shame ..
Most importantly, culture and heritage still upheld. Language can start learning .....online...offline...love from Malaysia...4th generation of indian from Madras India.

Congratulations on your wonderful production. Hope we could have a similar production in Guyana.
Very well produced video. 2017 would be a 100 years since indentureship was ended. I am proud of my ancestors, and look forward to celebrating the abolition of indentureship .

India people missing you a lot
Every thing as be said about our indains is so very true they all did have a very hard life I can still remember the food they had to eat to live green banana curry dhall beans paw paw curry melie rice potatoe curry for our indains dry fish was like meat for them after many many years once in a while they will save money and buy life chicken to cook that was meat for them we all must take of our hats for our forefathers that worked like a dog to put food on the table just to get beans dhall melie rice so they can get food for they families they had no money to buy clothes they used to get cut cloth s and soware they own clothes to ware be thinkfull it's because of them we leant hard work and we also ate that to grow up our parents also work with they parents to help them that's how they leant to become hardworker s I can never forget while growing up how hard life was back then in proud of them they thought us how to work hard to earn our own living like was still not nice for some of our indains as growing up because some was wise and saved money n bot land n built house for they children we had to rent because money used to go for food I went to school with our shoes my mum n dad also went with our shoes to school they only went far as class 1 or 2 because they need to work and ean money to help they parents things was hard although it was cheap but less Money can't di much
I didn't realize how complicated their history was....
Wrong Indian map 1:46 minutes in 1845 there were no Pakistan and Bangladesh.
how can Premiere Video Productions makes such a mistake.
Can someone suggest book or article to read this history
thanks for sharing
My grandfather came from Patna ,he lost his brother ,he disembarked in Trinidad, when he found out, it was too late ,the ship was on its way to Guyana.
Despite their humble appearances , the dialect they spoke was bhojpuri, and it was called the language of the revolutionary or the soldiers voice. All our indian bloodlines have been speaking hindi much longer than we have english, its all in side you. You just have to make a sacrifice for them, as they did for you. Its a shame contemporary view holds them to be sub human. When the history is taught this way it makes it look like all this happened for a benevolent reason
@biggurs Mungal Patessar is a genius of the Sitar!

What about Guyana
Wow indians are hard working people compared to Americans and Europeans
Why is Madras on the wrong side of the Indian Map ??
La ilaha illAllah
The ancient greeks were made of four tribes. Their science came from the Ionians, Trinidad has alot of similarities to Ionia. It is on this small Island that the model of unity was forged, Ideas to fight all slave nations
You have to make your sacrifice and create your own history, impose yur will. Why do we sit and think everything needs to be given to us. Our ancestors never had the easy way out, why do you fall victim to it?
dem people ah cause
It was of their tenacity and sacrifice only. As for the religion, how do we account for braminism? I mean wehave the rigidity of the vedas and also the authority of it, but at its core is that sanatan dharma. An edict about old wars from 3000 years ago? If that is the religion , then by all means we have that
do indian in Fiji do better then Caribbean Indians?
Yes. By far. We have maintained the language culture and religion better.We also have developed Fiji with the native Fijians to become a stable country.Yes Fijian Indians have done far betted despite having less population.If you think that this is completely opinion based look at the statistics and information yourself.
Caribbean Indians are by far more educated, well known, and prosperous if that's what you mean. Also, at least in Jamaica, many business groups and castes later came like Sindhis, Gujaratis, and Punjabis. Caribbean Indians are very successful in America, the UK, and Canada and have homes on the islands. I am not putting Fijis down, but Caribbeans are definitely doing their thing. We are very proud people and will continue succeeding.
@@unkownguy6708 we are both good and the same
@@artlover4375 we are both good and the same
@@artlover4375 .... how are Caribbean Indians, successful in UK, US & Canada... don't see their names on professional lists.. they migrate to these places, and live like they would on the islands.... their children don't attend universities etc... unlike, them the Indians from India do educate themselves and their children. The few Fijians I know are education oriented...the Indians in Trinidad are also educated, most are professionals...🙂🙂🙂‼
Only Indians and Tamils can able to do farm work. Other did not know the farming.
Indians and Tamils are different ?
Tamil is a different country within india
You do know enslaved Africans were doing farmwork even prior to the industrial revolution with machinary to aid production, and were successfully doing so right? Post emancipation the british did Not want to pay the Africans a fair wage, hence indentureship.
In the 1800, the Punjabis came to USA to work on the farms... They settled in central California on the west coast... it's documented in California history books...
@@nirajsingh8830Tamil is one of the major 18 different languages of India. Indians who speaks Tamil language are called Tamilians/Thamizhar.
India is a big family of linguistic communities like Tamilians, Malayalees, Kannadigas, Telugu, Odiya, Marathis, Gujarathis, Sindhis, Punjabis, Kashmiris, Biharis, Bengalis, Assamese, Bodo, Mizos, Manipuris, Nagas, Tibetans, and many more..
Before they gave you a name
India called you all one name
Shudra
All r not sudras, mainly they r from all caste who r farm workers that time especially from sugar producing region of india
The language loss: another British issue. If you didn't know English, your chances of getting a job was nil.. so the elders wanted their children to learn English in order to progress and hence the loss of the mother tongue.. today, most of the doctors, lawyers, teachers are of Indian origin......🙂🙂🇺🇸
it was illegal for them to read write or own land, they really had no way of teaching us. In their one genius sacrifice they left India. this is the single greatest decision of their lives. We are a new type of indian, a new flourishing tribe. If one really wants to connect to the genome given to him by the universe can easily learn hindi nowadays. I made friends from India and it became an easier process.
Some indians came on own free will..while others were trick into it...still happens now 2018..
Now they're coming on the trek from south and central America, via the Darrien Gap....🙂🙂🙂⁉️⁉️... seen documentaries, where people pay $30k to come to US this way... just think, that money could give them a better life in their country, but they choose to risk their health, & life. When they have a hard life, who is to blame.....🙂🙂⁉️⁉️
I once knew a brahmin who hated Trinidad and all its free people
In her lonliness she plotted to rule by fear ,dogma, and misinformation
Like all othe brahmins she was supposedly better than the lot because her last name was Maharaj. To believe such dribble, is too worship stupidity. The spirit of India has nothing to do with that religion and personally i do not even believe in atma jiva. Being indian is the death of Ego and self, it is an effigy a continual sacrifice. We are the living culture
Shirvan Samlali
dem should be mad at d blanco people not d brown people
Untouchables Dalits
Kevin George and your point is?
All r not dalits, they r farm workers of that time
