Interview with the Son of a Girmitiya | Kavanagasau | Fiji | How to Search for an Emigration Pass

  • Majority of Girmitiya descendants in Fiji are of the 4th and 5th generation. There are some 3rd generation descendants but not many are left. We were fortunate to get in touch with the son of a Girmitiya who was sent to Fiji in 1911 and who worked his girmit in Kavanagasau, Sigatoka. The son's name is Sita Ram and he is 94 years old, still fit to work in his farm.
    The video also includes a section on "how to search for the Emigration Pass" and a visit to the National Archives of Fiji to check the General Register which includes information on their employer, the estate or location the immigrants were sent to for their Girmit, their marriage during the indenture, and repatriation and death records.

    I cried whilst looking at the video. Same sad story. Life is never easy for an immigrant. My grandfather, age 20, left his village of Bhauraha, Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh in 1888 for the unknown. After sailing for 6 months in ship Sheila, he landed on the shores of Guyana, South America. He was placed on 5years indentureship to work in sugar plantation. They suffered, maltreated, many died. He survived and later loved Guyana, married, had 5 sons and 1 daughter. He died at age 96, always wanted to back to India. Similarly, I left Guyana, at age 25 for the United States because of political injustice...racism, discrimination, bigotry against East Indians. Life was hard. Many challenges to face...climate, culture, food etc. I worked all shifts...never know whether it was day or night. Had no family when I came, but people were kind. I survived too. Went back to school. Got degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics. Had good job, just retired with great benefits. Grateful. God is merciful. I mantained my religion, my culture and heritage. God bless America.

    It is really a very Precious Research done by you. I suggest that you continue writing & narating such Human History, so that your Archive becomes known to future generations. I am the 4th generation of my Great Grand Patents who stepped in the Aapravasi Ghat MAURITIUS on 15 March 1870. As a devout Researcher, I have tried to trace out my Ancestral village ARRAH, BIHAR since 2017- 2019, but was unsuccessful despite the support of the District Magistrate of ARRAH & in spite of my OCI Card. So, I have planned to open a Centre in the name of KANHYE Family in ARRAH and to establish all possible links with the Indentured Descendants world wide. I hope to obtain the support of everyone in the near future. GOD Bless you all and Namaste from RAINBOW MAURITIUS.❤❤❤❤Jai BHOJPURI.

I have gone through the process of locate the Immigration Zpass but was also fortunate to have sent 25 years of my early life with my father and knew most of the information about him n his origin . In 2015 I visited my village Bargadwa in Basti U.P n located my nephews and the whole clan. And since my brother n many of his children n grandchildren from Lautoka have visited the family in Basti I also went back in 2020 to attend the wedding of my youngest grandson who is captain on a commercial ship operating from USA. My elder brother 90yrs still lives in Lautoka. I m planning another visit next year n we are planning to bring some family members to visit Our farm n birth place in Ba

    5:36 This was told to me by my Primary School Mates . They were woken 4am had to cook and eat and pack and be in the fields by 5am. They would return 7pm, wash, cook eat and be in bed by 8pm. The routine continued. Many hanged themselves rather than be slaved. Some , 16.17 yrs would run away. They were pursued on horseback by "Field Officers" "Call Numbers" {Culumbarrs} and drowned in rivers. Deaths were documented as " Drowned while swimming". They were given only Machetes to cut down large trees. No Axe. They were not allowed to smoke on job. They smoked dried banana leaves and other tabaco leaves. They would hide the cigars in their under pants which was loin clothes. { no Bonds under pants then} .The Culumbarr's would indiscriminately search them for cigars.Anyone caught was Whipped. Yes Whipped.!! The British B___________s !! {Wish i was a Superman and appeared there for them. } That would be pleasant side of their History. {smile}.
    Anyway my GrandFather did his bit. He was a 6 footer Punjabi and a Roughian. Once he was digging a ditch and a Marshall on Horse back for some reason whipped him. He grabbed the whip and pulled causing him to fall from horse into the ditch. Then he beat the S___ out of him.
    On another occasion A Marshall went to his house and complained about him not Branding his Cattle. Do'nt know details but He tied the Marshall to the tree heated {red hot} the brand and branded him on his body . !! Yes my dad and uncles told us. P.S. They were also kicked by hateful anti Indian "Call Numbers" over petty matters.

      There are 2 Chikuri on the list of which one is an infant. Here are the links to the 2 passes. First one is that of a young man of 21 years age. You may need to check the details. If they do not match, then please check with National Archives.

    The title is fundamentally wrong; in Fiji we speak a variant of Hindi, derived mainly from Awadhi with bits of Bhojpuri to form the language we call Fiji Hindustani.

      The title is that of the Channel and not of any particular video. The channel aims to present videos in Hindi including the Girmit history, interviews, literary works in Hindi, and Hindi in various genres. In Fiji we speak both the standard form of Hindi and the colloquial form as appropriate. Standard Hindi is taught in schools and is the chosen language for most on formal occasions. The videos will be presented in the form suitable to its content. The Channel also aims to present Fiji's stories to the world, therefore would maintain standard Hindi for presentation.

      Thank you so much. I understand that if you want to dry up a river, just block its source. Similarly if you want to ruin a culture, disconnect it's language with the source (standard Hindi). Standard Hindi connects us to a vast ocean of knowledge, literature, philosophies, thoughts, history only to enrich us as humans. Why deprive ourselves of the richness and restrict our growth. By the way, no one advocates replacing standard English in schools with Fiji English.

      I'm told the National Archives is working on the list with names starting from N till Z. However, if you have the ship name and arrival date, you may be able to do the search for the pass as most of them are arranged in alphabetical order. The passes are all available on the site, though I've come across instances where some are missing.
