About the Book

The book covers a wide geographical scope, including India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Suriname, Trinidad & Tobago, and their respective diasporas across Asia, the Indian Ocean, the Caribbean, and Europe. Among the significant topics discussed is the issue of reparations for the descendants of indentured labourers. Other noteworthy subjects include diaspora policies in countries suchas India and Suriname, as well as broader policies in the Caribbean. The final section sheds light on heritage, with articles on the historical and contemporary architecture of housing for indentured labourers in Trinidad and temple construction in the Caribbean. This book offers fresh perspectives in the study of indentured labour, migration, and the Indian diaspora, making a valuable contribution to the field.
