The question suggests that a general emigration from India to the West Indies (Trinidad and Tobago, in particular) was the result of conscious choice on the part of the emigres. In fact, these individuals had little discretion in the matter - they were imported as indentured servants and laborers for the British upper class starting in 1834. Today, Hindis represent the largest minority group found in the British West Indies, although they are scattered throughout all the Caribbean Islands.
