People from India migrated to Guyana primarily in the 19th and early 20th centuries as indentured laborers after the abolition of slavery. The British colonial government sought to address labor shortages on sugar plantations, leading to the recruitment of Indian workers. They were promised wages and the opportunity for a better life, which motivated many to leave their homeland. This migration significantly influenced Guyana's cultural and social landscape, contributing to its multicultural identity.
