The East Indians in Trinidad primarily came from the northern Indian states, particularly Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Punjab. They migrated to Trinidad between 1845 and 1917 as indentured laborers, mainly to work on sugar plantations. This migration was part of a broader trend of Indian labor movement to various British colonies following the abolition of slavery. Their cultural influences remain significant in Trinidad today.
