Indentured servants in East India primarily came from the regions of Bihar, Odisha, and Uttar Pradesh. These individuals were often recruited to work on plantations in places like the Caribbean, Mauritius, and Fiji during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Economic hardship and limited opportunities at home drove many to seek work abroad under indenture contracts. This system was a response to the labor shortages following the abolition of slavery.
