Indian Countries Outside of India
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- Why are there so many countries around the world that have a South Asian (predominantly Indian) majority or plurality? How on Earth did there come to be many "Indian" descended countries outside of India itself?
Although many in the West (and even many in India) are not aware of this, there are a handful of countries and territories around the world with small to large Indian descended populations from the colonial era who predate the more recent wave of Indian migrants that have seen tens of millions heading to the Middle East, North America and Europe. These countries include Mauritius, Fiji, Trinidad, Guyana and many others, who, although containing many other cultures and peoples as well, have a substantial Indian-descended population, who have quite the interesting history. Thanks for watching!

I'm from India . met Fiji indians girl in Australia. I'm surprised that girl Speak fluently Bhojpuri.
@Aryan Sharma "heelela aara district"
I too, am ashamed .
Also I never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that there would be people speaking bhojpuri in Fiji
@Aryan Sharma because I couldn't resist the urge to write out the lyrics to lolipop lage lu
@funnymakerboy the girl u met that Fijian was also Indian by roots and Fijian Hindi is also a part of Bhojpuri of india
+ funny marker boy. Melbourne, Australia. You are right. I think Indian Fijians are the only ones who have preserved their Indian language amongst indentured Indian labourer descendants ( settled in Trinidad & Tobago, Guyana, Mauritius, Suriname, Reunion Island, Guadeloupe, Jamaica, etc). I am the descendant (4th generation) of Indentured Indian labourers who went to Mauritius and I don't know Indian language.

The history of Indian migrants in Mauritius, Fiji, Trinidad and Tabago, Guyana and Suriname has many similarities. That's because all these migrants come from practically the same Indian states. That is why there are hardly any cultural differences among these migrants. If I hear the descendants of the Indiansin Fiji talking, it is as if I were hearing descendants of the Indians in Suriname talking. Wedding ceremonies according to the old tradition in Mauritius and Fiji are similar to those in Suriname. Note that that old tradition is fading.
The sun never set on the British empire, because even God wouldn't trust the English in the dark.

@Hungry Estonian did I said anything wrong bro? spain did very good. and now china is doing it. but unfortunately India cannot do it you know why? because theres something known as human rights and UN which was invented in 1950s. and second reason is "thats how democracy and secularism works" but still we are trying our level best to copy the spain strategy. yes we know we are too late.
one could say, colonisation started with the Europe's journey to find india for direct trade of spices!! but who knows.
I like that!
No. Columbus and the British are two different things.
Lol the ottomans and the mongols were before the Europeans
What? I don't get it
It is kind of true. First the Portuguese achieved in 1498 by sailing around Africa. The Spanish thought they did it by sailing around the World with Columbus in 1492,only to figure they got to a whole new thing. Eventually they managed to reach Asia anyway, by crossing the Pacific. Then the Netherlands, England and France, when figuring Portugal and Spain were getting pretty rich, started messing with their trade routes and colonies eventually establishing their own.

@@toosharp04 Hi 👋
Don’t forget about Jamaica’s Indian population. There’s a bunch! Also the Indian population in Barbados which is growing again due to immigrants mostly coming from Guyana.
They are not Indian...they are Jamaican with ancestors from South Asia. Do you call black folks in Jamaica, African people of Jamaica?
The Truth thats so people would understand who i’m referring to. I can simply say Jamaican but it will be false. Jamaican is made up of many peoples but majority if west African decent.
Big up
There are not much Indians in Jamaica.
Damn coolie deh everyweh
INDO TRINIDADIAN AND INDO GUYANES HAVE NO PROBLEM BEING REFERED AS INDIAN. OUR NEIBORHOOD IS HINDU AND SIHK
VERY WRONG, WORDING. but I sort of get what you are trying to say.
Indo Trinidadian and Indo Guyanese REFER TO THEMSELVES AS INDIAN. and ONLY with their countries and communities. Its internal usage ONLY.
Its a lot more COMPLICATED than you make it to be, or think it is .
In the Caribbean we use it to mean a racial/ cultural grouping, WITHIN the CARIBBEAN and the Caribbean community. WE DONT USE IT TO MEAN THAT WE ARE FROM INDIA.
We never say our cultural background in other Caribbean countries or anywhere else as INDIAN. We go from the country we are from.
Guyanese, Trinidadian, Jamaican to OUTSIDERS.
Outside of the Caribbean community we do not say we are Indians because......WE ARE NOT FROM INDIA.
Where in your guyana or in USA
Now i come to know that, why Mr modi is helping Caribbean countries financial because of their indian decent

@@saysumesh NO...dont you get it 1/2 of the population is black....TO COMPETE WITH CHINA....Its call long term investing
My parents are from guyana, growing up in canada a lot of people didnt understand what west indian was, one guy in college even told me I was lying when I told him my parents were from a country in south america which slightly pissed me off but I feel like the story of indian indentured servants from the late 19th to early 20th century is slowly starting to be told thanks to people like Masaman which is awesome!
Yes, you should have gotten the globe and show him where Guyana and the other countries were to shut him up!
I have Guyanese parents and grew up in Canada too! I personally don’t consider myself to be Indian at all and feel I have more in common with other Caribbean islands and South American countries

Don’t worry they still don’t know 😔
And are still arrogant to argue.

❤️ indian from Bangldesh. Hi
It’s really cool to see you do a video on this!! I’m half Indo-Jamaican living in Canada and haven’t really learned a lot about this outside of stories told by my relatives from there
That’s a nice recipe if you get my drift.
You are not half indo jamaican. Go and take a DNA test.
Longinus Ukenta learn your facts. Jamaica is a diverse nation and we’re proud of it! Many people come from many backgrounds(Black, Chinese, Arab, white,Indian, mixed). So don’t hate on Jamaicans that are proud of their heritage, and are not afraid to show it!
Longinus Ukenta I am, and my (almost) fully Indian mother can attest to it, along with all my Indian extended family who’ve lived there since they were brought over by the British. So yeah, I’m half Indo-Jamaican, ethnically Indian and culturally Jamaican on her side.
@@rockman9752
Why don't you just take my advice and take a DNA test.
Here in Kenya, the Indians have integrated very little. They remain a distinct group and are referred to simply as Indians (Wahindi in Kiswahili)
This is true. I lived there for 3 years and most indian communities, even 4th or 5th generation ones, were really well connected to the culture and spoke our mother tongues quite well. The most distinct are the gujarati and bengali communities, which are two communities known for their ports and trades. Perhaps this is why they moved there.
Kiritu George that's good to know. You can take an Indian out of India, but you can't take India out of an Indian.
Not sure how to react. I believe people should integrate into other countries when moving there.
@@alex-sv8ru Well, you can still be Indian and Kenyan as well. To us, they are just plain Indian. And thats a problem. Integration is key in harmony and avoiding things like alienating and otherising a certain community. And Indians aren't too good at integration. Look at what happened in Uganda. All im saying is the Indians should maybe stop trying so hard to distance themselves from us because in the end it will come back to bite them in the ass.
@@gabbar51ngh Exactly
Indians mingle with other communities in a way like water droplets on lotus leaves 🤗
Ha Ha, water drops retain their shape on the lotus leaves.
@Sourabh Ghosh Jambudweepa was India's ancient name and you are right it was much bigger than what it is now. India is a small part of the much larger Indian sub- continent.
Well said. We get accused of not “integrating”.
No sir you're not correct.many most of the indian diaspora s convert to other religion which is more popular in that countrys.mingle with them and forget their own language.that you can see in Fiji and Caribbean and reunion singapore and many other places.. except very few

Which Indians? Native American or Asian ones? Both had too much similar name and easily mistaken each other
@@zerox8413 Native americans have no relation with Indians. no cultural relations nor facial relations. I dont know why they call it Indians. one must notice that the first word given to this land was India. as europeans were on hunt to India for an easy route for better subjugatio... oh I mean for better trade. that didnt mean they were Indians. nor does indonesians are Indians. indic indo indi are all derived from river Indus.
Indonesia means, Islands of India.
that didnt make indonesians as Indians.
actual India is the largest country in the world geographically. so it has a big presense.

@s r more videos about the Indians here in the Philippines please. Indians here are not represented well unlike in Malaysia and Singapore. We don't know their exact numbers. I hope you will make a documentary about the Indians in the Philippines.
@@fritzasong Actually, there are many Filipinos of South Asian descent even during the Pre-hispanic times. What you consider as 'deep' Tagalog words are actually derived from Sanskrit. Also, during the brief occupation of the British in Manila, they assigned military posts to Sepoy soldiers which eventually married the locals and settled mostly east of Manila - Marikina and Rizal province and Northern Luzon especially in Pangasinan.
@@fritzasong No. There are LOTS of Filipinos here who have Indian ancestry. Most come from Cainta and Pasig, I think.

4th generation Indian descendant from Fiji Islands. We speck Bhojpuri Hindi mixed with English and Native Fijian words. Pretty much indian diaspora in Fiji Islands.

I was happy to learn of the Surinam Indian community. One of my mates is from the same community and lives in Den Hague
In Singapore, we have integrated the early batch of Indians as Singaporeans (local Indians) and often times we don’t classify them as Indians.
But for the recent wave of migration, there is certain more cultural difference and often times, they are viewed as new immigrants/expats who have yet to assimilate into the local culture. Even the local Indians feel that way too.
@OkayGotIt First generation always struggles so nothing to do with nationality ....even Italians, Irish, Polish struggled to assimilate in first few generation but 100-150 yrs later they are as american as the Mayflower decedents
@@singhprakash72 Because Italians, Irish and Polish people are Europeans at the end of the day. And America was created as a White/European nation.
Indians won't turn European even when living in a Western nation for centuries. Which is why they'll never assimilate.
@fidel castro and how do u know nonwhites will be the majority? 😂
@@jamesturner4478 what is your definition of assimilation ?
BTW Even White Americans who trace their ancestry to Europe have very little in common culturally to Europe. Do you think present day Polish origin American makes Pierogi or Bigos or an Italian American makes authentic Pasta Fazool or Spaghetti ?
@@singhprakash72 The word nation literally means "birth". It's something one is born into, and is tied into race more than anything. This genetic affinity allows for true conformity. When we bring non-Europeans in, we're bringing people who are not of our race/kin and will simply compete for resources. So, it doesn't matter how much you flatten or "Americanize" your culture, you won't be part of that nation ever.
On the topic of American culture specifically - the modern globalized, rootless, bland "culture" you see in America today is just a vacuum, not a real culture. The Heritage American culture is based on a blend of Anglo-Saxon and German culture and of course Greek philosophy and thought along with Roman statesmanship. It was supposed to be a perfect pan-European blend before the Hart Celler act of 1965 (which is when subverted America allowed non Whites to enter America). The real America died in 1965.
I love this video, I'm from Fiji; Indian ancestry, my great grandparents are from India.

Indian diaspora is larger than I thought, still I knew about Indian in SEA and E Africa and Arabia the only group that surprised me was Caribbean Indians
...also, the first "Indians" to the US were Sikhs, leaving persecution in India. They started coming in the mid-1800s, and set up farms in the Midwest and Northwest. In Northern California, you will find 5th & 6th Generation Indians who still are farmers...😉
@@solid1378 whoa, cool...!
good to see you, elias!
Not me. Anyone who follows cricket will know that there are a lot of west Indian players of Indian origin. Ravi rampaul for example
indians in the caribbean are actually quite a well established diaspora. they've been there for close to 200 years. after they were brought by the british as 'voluntary' or 'involuntary' laborers. since the british empire abolished slavery earlier than the other european empires. nevertheless, it was still brutal. thousands died cause of harsh and unjust labor conditions, diseases, and brutality from the british authorities. the indians built the country guyana, as well as the the descendents of african slaves.
caribbean indians can be found guyana, trinidad and tobago, jamaica, belize, suriname, oversea departments of france (martinique and guadalupe) i think it's the other unmentioned part of the atlantic slavetrade. but cannot be labeled as slavery since they weren't registered as slaves. simply laborers instead
Ayy I’m Indian from Trinidad & Tobago 🇹🇹. And we all call ourselves Indian with great pride. We haven’t assimilated, as we are the majority and dominant culture. We are also separated with Indians in the Southwest and Africans in the East. We don’t mix as often and you would think as our cultures are dramatically different. You can get a hint from town names.
You are Hindus or Muslims?
@@maligjokica
I would say a majority here are Hindus.
Followed by Christian Indians, then Muslims.
You are not majority in Trinidad and Tobago. Politically, Africans are in charge. African's are also in charge in Guyana and Suriname. If you don't mix, how come the Trinidadian mixed population of black and indian (dougla) is 20% and counting?
Longinus Ukenta Indians are the majority in Guyana, Trinidad and Suriname by population. And we all part of CARICOM. We are also the dominant culture in the region from what I experience.
Why is the government African? Because that’s how it is. One party is Indian, the other is African. Same in Guyana. (Go check for yourself) - Like the Republicans and Democrats. We “take turns” governing and this arrangement seems to keep racial tensions low.
And we don’t mix often I said. 20% of the population are mixed, and thats after a Century of African and Indian co-mingling.
If we mixed nearly as frequent as Dominicans, Malaysians or Americans. There would be no Indians and Africans left. But you can go to places in Trinidad where you swear on your in India. Every single person is Indian or Hindu. Towns, schools, music, and other media are all Hindu. We are self segregated but not in a hateful way. A Indian Hindu is less likely to marry a West African Christian. For instance, to my knowledge of the past 6 generations, all my family are Indian. And married Indian.
You can imagine it like any other country, because today its probably different. A lot of men are marrying Venezuelan Girls today, who have immigrated illegally.
@@TeamTwiistz These blacks are really eager to mix with non blacks, if you say you don't want to mix with black or even just preferring to be with your own group then they will call you racist lol. It's normal that people prefer their own ethnicity but obviously not with blacks. I've lost count of the amount of blacks crying about Indians and others not wanting to mix with them or for preferring their own. If an indian does mix with them then it becomes like some great thing that has happened.
Even though the Indian diaspora is quite large, it is tiny if you look at percentage
Very tiny. Indian population of the Caribbean is not up to 1.5 million. About 3 million in the America's and 1 million in Canada. The total indian population of the America's is about 6 million.

Hey bro,actually few months before i was searching about these community whose ancestors had immigrated from india to trinidad and other parts of the world but i could not get any significant results and finally you made a video on them,watching it i learnt a lot about this immigrant community Thanks man
In South Africa "Coolie"is considered a very insulting and derogatory word which is a punishable offense. It is mentioned and heard very rarely, it only comes out when there is some sort of racist incident where an Indian was the target.
I stand to be corrected but as far as I know it is a Tamil word and means "the lowest paid".
This however is an excellent video, thank you to Masaman. In South Africa we have descendants from many parts of Greater India, I myself am descendant from Bihar and Mandya Pradesh in India, Panjab in Pakistan & Nepal.
I highly doubt if it is a Tamil word. It usually means wage labour.
Troy62486 it is offensive, it’s just like how African Americans use the n word, they say amongst each other but don’t like it when other people call them that.
It's offensive here in Trinidad as well
Coolie simply means wages or daily wages
Coolie in Telugu means Labour
I am of Indian decent born in Suriname. My mother is Guyanese Indian and my father is Surinamese Indian. I grew up in the Caribbean, on St. Maarten and now live in the Netherlands. This topic is very interesting to me.
❤️
Awesome bro
You are black
Guyanese food is next level - better than Jamaican cuisine IMO. As a half Guyanese person I feel conflicted about my Indian heritage. My grandmother celebrates Hindu holidays, and our food is pretty similar to Indian food. But Indian people don't really claim or acknowledge us
Also, don't call Indian people that word. It's not a good idea
Because many don't even know that Indians were taken to the Carribean. I myself came to know about it after I graduated high school. We aren't taught about this stuff in school. We are only taught Muslim history
Ya man.. we are not told that our brothers n sisters are all over.. all this info is new to me. Now I just wanna come there for a vacay :))
Bro our education system taught us the history of the Pre-British period - mughuals, french rev and old Indian history.
Many Indians don't even know the sacrifices of freedom fighters in independence. Many learn that through the internet, podcasts, movies and youtube. Now many movies, UA-camrs are working hard to preserve all sacrifices which is a good thing.
I can assure you in the coming decade we will be more connected through our cultural roots. As India is going strong in economy and current govt promoting our culture.
Many Indonesian, Cambodian, Malay and Thai people are connected to India through Hinduism and Buddhism. Govt. is attracting ASEAN & East Asia to Hinduism & Buddhism.
These major pilgrimages sites are being directly connected to airports & trains(DPR of the bullet train is also in progress).
Eg - Kushinagar (Lord Buddha born place) UP,
Ayodhya (Lord Ram born place) UP,
Chardham( Lord Shiva and Vishnu) Uttrakhand etc.
Same as Mecca, Medina for Muslims.
India is a hub for Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism.
The Caribbean, Oceanic countries are next.

@@GreenGoblinCoryintheHouse you didn't clearly get what I had say.
@@shreeabraham theek sorry.
Love gurung India is a modern geopolitical union. That shit ain’t old. What’s inside of this union is not very united. So stop the bullshit and learn about your ancestors first.
Bhutan is in South Asia but their race are very different from India Nepal is similarities
born in the Fiji islands now in Canada I want to thank you deeply for your video this means a lot to our people!
im indo south African 5th generation Indian in Africa
My 3x Great Grandfather John William Anderson was one of those so called "coolie" labourers who went to the island of Jamaica in the Caribbean in the 1840s early on in the indentureship period after emancipation and he remained there for the rest of his life dying in 1913. Because there weren't as many Indian women as men who arrived in Jamaica at that time, he was married three times, and only the second one was Indian, the other two, with whom he had ten children total were both of black or African descent. Another interesting fact regarding the Chinese and especially Indian labourers was that many of them changed their names after being baptized into Christianity. For instance John William Anderson's father was listed as being named "Coobella" with no last name as Indians in those days typically did not have last names.
I hope you search about santhan dharm or Hinduism which I think your grandfather may have been following before converting to christainity
Why did you not talk about Roma people who are from India
Even though srilanka already have tamil population of it's own in here but we are indian decent tamils in sri lanka
My love for knowledge and wisdom will never fail me.
could you make a video about Minoans? they are pretty cool
They aren’t a living culture. He is more likely to make a video on Crete.
@@_robustus_ true, then again there is still remains of their ancient culture
As someone born in the Caribbean (greater antilles) but raised elsewhere, I was always aware of Afro-Caribbeans and White Caribbeans, but I only found out about Indo-Caribbeans recently.
*edit:* I added some details for clarification
@33kaus holokaust again like I said I'm from the Greater Antilles (specifically born in Cuba). Cuba is better known for its White and African populations, and sometimes East Asian Cubans get a mention.
I didn't live long in the Caribbean though, I grew up and live in the U.S.
I only recently found out about the large Hindi populations in the Lesser Antilles and South America (like in Trinidad & Tobago, Guyana, etc)
Your country's education system failed you my friend
Love india from Fiji👋🇫🇯

Can you please do video about the so called gypsies? My father is gypsy (roma) but idont know much about them.My mom is east european and i was born and raised in east Europe as my parents and grand parents as well.But i believe that my ancestors come from India because when my grandma watch indian movies and series and when they start singing in hindi or any other indian language idk my grandma understand some of the words which is crazy because we have never ever been in India! And some people say we come from Egypt? It doesnt make any sense to me but idk
Your ancestors are from India 🤗

Have a nice day ♥️
Thanks for making this video! Been waiting to hear more about Indo Caribbean research
The figures you give for the Caribbean island may need to be corrected, especially considering that 40% of Trinidad and guyana's population are of Indian descent Trinidad have one and a half million people so I think you need to revisit your figures The figure you give that may be the amount that live on Jamaica.
Indians are one of the hardest working people on earth. They never complain, very studious, family oriented, and cause no problems for anybody. Anywhere they go, the become the leading economic producers of the country. This coming from a Chinese speaks volumes.
Their hard work hardly pays off😂😂
All immigrants work hard when they go to a foreign land. This may come as a sirprise. Nigerian immigrants are the most educated immigrants in the US!
I'm part Somali and part south African Indian 😁
Ok, I think the title of the video ought to be “countries with Indian populations outside of India”. Trinidad and Tobago does indeed have a large presence of Indian descendants as a result of the indentureship after the abolition of slavery in the British colonies. It is important to note that Trinidad and Tobago is NOT an Indian country. The Indian community is just of one the many other communities that reside in Trinidad and Tobago.
Thanks
Correct very misleading
and the 600,000 Indians in Australia, some were born in OZ, some have recently migrated there.
MrHispanicpride Yup one of the best slaves out there. The Brits knows this 😂.

I am Canadian and I know many people here of South Asian decent but I would say that 90% of them came here from Trinidad and Tobago or Guyana. Many of my friends of African decent come from Jamaica or USA.
We have a large, stable and prosperous economy here so although many do come and settle here, many also just come to make some money so they can send it back or save it to retire there. Canadians of European decent that I know often go to Florida for the same reasons.
The economy is better here while the weather and culture is better or more interesting there.
I am going to the Caribbean tomorrow! So glad to catch some sun and spend some time with ladies who have their parka's off!
Masaman your work is amazing. Your curiosity is outstanding. Keep it coming love it
Vande mataram 🇮🇳
Born and raised in Canada. Both maternal and paternal grand fathers from India Gujarat. My Parents are from South Africa.
I’m a 2nd and a half generation Indian (my mam is 2nd - born in France grew in up Reunion Island but my maternal ancestors were all French citizens from being from Pondicherry; and my dad is 1st). I’m born in Ireland and grew up in Ireland and England so I feel attached to four different countries, and take absolutely no ‘offense’ whatsoever being attributed to any/all of them. Having said that, I am and will always be Irish before all else, so I more take offense being ‘excluded’ from one of my countries I suppose than being included like you said in the vid.
Otherwise world-class bro!
I'm from indian descend. My parents were born in Suriname and their great-grandfather were laborers from India. After Suriname became indepented from The Netherlands in 1975 a lot of Surinam people moved to the Netherland. My father moved to The Netherland in 1987 and my mother in 1992. I'm born here in The Netherlands and it's weird/confusing bc I'm not sure if I'm Indian, Surinam or Dutch????
Btw Coolies or in dutch, Koelie. Is REALLY offensive and rude. Saying it in Netherland is just like saying the N word
Instagram: @bhazz11
There is a joke that does something like “the Dutch are really cool people because they exported all of their assholes a couple of centuries ago”. I only met cool people there.
G E K O L O N I S E E R D
Lol in India we use the word coolie to the guys who take our bags on train station intresting how this word survived in Netherlands
@@leaveme3559 In dutch and afrikaans coolie is used as the n word for indians lmao
Keep in mind that people don't know any better (about the word coolie).
For example Indian surinamese people call black people kaffrie.
Kaffrie is from the Dutch word kaffer.It isn't a positive word either.The same with the word "dogla" we (al ethnicities ) use that word .But in hindi it means "bastard".When people say coolie/dogla or kaffri it isn't to insult each other.When you use a swear word before it.Or when you say things one a certain way than it is to insult each other.But that is with every word.People use certain words for centuries without knowing what the thrue meaning was.And they wil continue to use it because for them it has no negative meaning.
And about your identity wheiter your Dutch etc.See yourself as a lucky person who can choose al the positivity from both worlds 💓
Greetings from Durban, South Africa. I am a third generation South African of Indian origin. My paternal grandfather left Chengelpet for the British colony of Natal . We are Tamil Hindus but most of us speak English as our main ,if not , only language. It would be appreciated if you could focus on South African Indians because if indentured Indians did not arrive in Natal then passenger Indians would not have migrated to the colony. Hence Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi would not have left India for Natal. It was here , Natal and Transvaal, that he began his experiments with truth. Imagine what the Indian independence movement and the subsequent history of India would have been if there was no Gandhi. It therefore saddens me to note that even the Indian media rarely focuses on South African Indians and the success we have made, especially those of indentured origin.
Our diaspora population add so much value to other countries, we work as engineers, doc, scientist, CEOs of top tech companies (and in ubers, 711 too😉) etc. In usa we Indians has the highest median income compare to other migrant community
Pajeet shut up
@@shivampurohit1331 pood in it
You have the highest median income because of the American tech companies hiring hundreds of thousands of indian software enginers. Meanwhile, India is a third world country. That's it.
@@longinusukenta1086 im not talking about fresh migrants, but Indian-American citizens
@@stayinawesum
Indian American citizens are product's of very well educated immigrants. The same thing is happening in the Nigerian community who are actually the most educated immigrant population in the US.
4:16 I've read a book about the indentured labour trade of South Asians and it basically seems like slavery with extra steps. People were forced to work 18 hour days, women forced to work the day after giving birth, people jailed if they went outside their boss's plantation without a pass, etc
Im indo-surinamese and La anchestors where raped and dey where called payed slaves or cent slaves it basically was slavery but we was gettin payed 1 cent per year
I’ve waited years for you to make this video and now it’s here!!! AMAZING! #MAURITIUS❤️
I'm a 5th gen Indo- Fijian. My ancestors came from the present day Behar in India.
Interesting. My family is also Indofijian, traced their Indian relative from Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, close in proximity to Bihar.
@@NovaUtopia Most of our ancestors came from this particular region (UP & Bihar) of India, I believe.
It's bihar. Nice to see you have an indian name. Which even I don't. ,❤️
Puerto Rican and Dominican here but I’m so proud to call myself West Indian. Their culture, history, and attitudes are so wonderful.
Dont forget Jamaica🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲. Jamaica has over 200 thousand east indians but as u said before most of the caribbean people migrated overseas so yea most of the indian Jamaicans are overseas. I am a Jamaican of indian descend as well. My grandma is indo Jamaican and my grandpa is african Jamaican.
Indians are spread out all over the world. I love Fiji, so beautiful
False. There are small tiny population of Indians in about 15 countries. The only group that is spread all over the world are black people. There are practically black people in almost every single country in the world. The only place you don't find them are in east asia and russia.
Longinus Ukenta False the most widespread people is them Chinese folks. They are all over the damn world. You might find a family in Antarctica if you look close enough.
@@Handle_Edit
False. Like I said, there are black people all over the world including Antarctica. The first American expedition that landed in Antarctica included a black man. His descendants still live there. There are no Chinese citizens of morrocco Algeria Tunisia Libya egypt Palestine Isreal, UAE, qatar Kuwait Oman Yemen saudi arabia, iraq, turkey, pakistan, India. But, about 25 million black people are citizens of those countries. About 80% of the Caribbean population is black. There are indigenous black population in every south American country, and I mean, every single one of them. Let me name all of them: Peru Bolivia Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatamala, Belize, Guyana, French Guyana, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, MEXICO. All of them have significant black populations dating back 500 years ago. As a matter of fact, there are about 17 black majority countries in the America's. There are hardly any Chinese in the America's with the exception of tiny populations in Brazil and Panama and a huge population in the US and Canada. There are about 18 million black citizens of Europe. The population of the black diaspora is more than 300 million.
@@Handle_Edit
Native American people have absolutely nothing to do with the Chinese. Black has always been used to describe people of sub saharan origin. Nobody else is described as black other than Africans. I don't know why you are confused about that.
Longinus Ukenta Do you think the people of West Africa fir example, the Great Asanti people call themselves Black? I bet you know nothing of any ethnic peoples of Africa. Black is termed by Europeans to label them as an inferior people. They are dark skinned so thats what they are calling them. The policy behind colonialism and the justification to use the “Blacks” as merely a property, “Slaves”. Now tell me do you know anything about Sub Sahara Africa?
4:26 is alot like the situation for many workers from south-east Asia in the Gulf region!
Colonialism really did mess up the world's demographics. 🤦♂️
Indeed. Its so messed up and scary.

Mason you're a boss. I use to think I was the only freak interested in the subject you speak on; goes to show to similar humans actually are across the board...
I think Indians can be found in almost every corner of the globe at this point. Like the Chinese
I used to always wonder why the cricketer Sunil Narine from Trinidad and Tobago looked exactly like an Indian. Now I think I know why. Such an informative video. 👍
Very interesting, have u seen any studies on African Americans with south Asian DNA? I have some Pakistan or Bangladesh in my DNA and it's more than my Native American. I can't figure out how this happened outside of Malagasy ancestry, until this video. I love the light u shined on the culture and the impact across many countries.
As a Bangladeshi that is quite interesting
