Indentured labourers began arriving in Trinidad in 1845, following the abolition of slavery in 1834. The British colonial government sought to address labor shortages on plantations, leading to the importation of workers primarily from India, as well as from other regions. This system continued until 1917, bringing a significant number of indentured workers to the island. Their arrival profoundly influenced Trinidad's cultural and demographic landscape.
