Hello everyone! The South Asian diaspora is spread across the whole world. Go to any continent and there isn't a country you can find that doesn't have at least a small group of South Asians inhabitants. We're all largely aware of the migration of South Asians in the 20th and 21st centuries after gaining independence from the British. Very few of us know about the extent of pre-independence migration of Indians to the furthest reaches of the globe. Through, what several historians believe was Britain's way of reinventing slavery, the indentured migrants arrived at former slave plantations and the rest was history.
