Indentured Indian labourers in the Carribbean—facts—signed a contract stating that they would return to India after working for five years at a plantation; belonged to eastern Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, central India and the dry districts of Tamil Nadu; migrants took up the overseas jobs hoping to escape poverty and oppression in their home villages; migrants were not even informed about the long sea voyages, and some unwilling ones were abducted as well; also known as “the new system of slavery”; harsh living and working conditions; few legal rights; many escaped into the wilds; some developed new art forms for expression; some returned home after the contract period, while others stayed on

Dear Family,
I hope this letter finds you well amidst my absence. Life here in the Caribbean as an indentured laborer is strenuous yet filled with challenges. The promise of a better life away from our homeland led me here, but the reality is tough.
Working in the plantations is backbreaking. The days are long, and the tasks seem endless. We toil under the scorching sun, tending to crops like sugar cane and rice. The conditions are harsh, and the overseers are often harsher. The meager wages hardly suffice, and our dreams of prosperity are fading.
The longing for home and the warmth of our family grips me every day. The unfamiliarity of this land and the longing for familiar faces weigh heavily on my heart. The solace lies in the shared struggles with fellow laborers, some from our homeland, easing the burden of loneliness.
Please convey my love to everyone back home. I yearn for the day when we reunite, free from the toils of this distant land. Until then, I hold onto hope and strength, hoping for better days ahead.
Yours faithfully,
Rinku
