That's an Indian Prime Minister being welcomed in a Caribbean nation with an Indian folk
00:14
performance known as the Bhojpuri Chotal. Indians started to arrive at the shores of Trinidad and
00:18
Tobago 1845 onwards as slaves and indentured labourers. They now account for 42% of the
00:23
population of Trinidad and Tobago with 1.4 million people. The British ended slavery in 1833
00:28
and brought over 1.5 lakh indentured Hindu and Muslim labourers to Trinidad between 1845 and 1970.
00:35
They worked five years as paid apprentices, saved money and often bought abandoned estates to build
00:40
free villages. By Trinidad's independence in 1962, Indo-Trinidadians had begun owning land and
00:45
running farms. Today, they are deeply woven into Trinidad's culture and politics. Intermarriage
00:50
is common and many still proudly name their ancestral Indian zilla or districts.
