There was need of capital for growing food and other crops for the world market. Large plantations could borrow capital from banks and markets. Others such as humble peasants fulfilled their requirements as mentioned below:
(i) There were the Shikaripuri Shroffs and Nattukottai Chettiars who were bankers and traders that financed export agriculture in central and south-East Asia.
(ii) They used their own capital or borrowed from European banks.
(iii) They had a sophisticated system to transfer money over large distances. They even developed indigenous forms of corporate organisation.
(iv) Indian traders and moneylenders followed European colonisers into Africa also.
(v) Hyderabadi Sindhi traders established flourishing emporia at busy ports worldwide. They sold local and imported curios to the tourists.
(a) Some examples of cultural fusion or a new culture among the indentured workers were as follows: (i) In Trinidad the annual Muharram procession was transformed into a riotous carnival called "Hosay" (for Imam Hussain). Workers of all races and religions joined in this carnival. (ii) The protest rRead more

(ii) The protest religion of Rastafarianism is also another example of social and cultural links with Indian migrants to the Caribbean.
(iii) ‘Chutney music’ in Trinidad and Guyana is also an example of cultural fusion.
(b) The above forms of cultural fusion helped in the making of the global world, where things from different places get mixed, lose their original characteristics and become something entirely new. This also encouraged a large number of Indians to stay back.

(iii) Lands were cleared for mines and plantations.
The above factors affected the lives of the poor. They failed to pay their rents and became deeply indebted and were forced to migrate in search of work.

(b) Two methods adopted by the European employers to recruit and retain labour were as given below:
(i) Heavy taxes were imposed which could be paid only by working for wages on plantations and mines.
