Thank you very much for this short documentary of Indentured in Guyana. I am pleased you also mentioned about Chinese from China , and Portuguese from Portugal, besides the Afro Guyanese. Our country is a beautiful diversed mix of religions, cultures, history, cuisines of different ethnic makeup which makes Guyana a unique country blessed with natural resources.
The Dutch were there before the English but we also have our Indigenous people who used to and still live in the Rainforest Regions .
The atrocities metted out by our forefathers and mothers by the Imperial English were a lot to fathom with but GOD IS OUR LOVE...GOD IS JUSTICE....GOD LOVES EVERYONE.

Guyana isn't the only country. Fiji Islands and many other former British colonies have the same history. When India was a British colony, they took Indians to work in Sugar Cane farms all over the world, including Queensland in Australia, Fiji, Guyana, Trinidad etc. These were mostly North Indians from UP and Bihar but later followed by South Indians, Punjabis and Gujaratis. My ancestors came from Haryana to the Fiji Islands 130 years ago but like most Fiji Indians, we migrated to Australia and New Zealand after the anti-indian coups in 1987. Today most Fiji Indians live in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and USA with some in UK etc.

The story about the recruitment for Fiji Islands, narratives on trickery, do not go down well. Since the Girmit was labour supply, the narrative about the way they were treated do not match the market supply. For the Labour to be bought by the plantation owners, the labour supplied had to be healthy.Also when we look at the total numbers brought to Fiji from 1879 to 1916, was approx 60,000, but only 24,000 returned after the indenture.
its narrated by Tota Ram Sanadhya, that Fiji is a "narak" (Hell), so question is was it narak for only a few?

the real answer why 36K did not return to india lies in the boarding passes.

those whose Passes had immigration passes mentioned "R Of Trinidad" "R of Fiji" "R Of Mauritius" "R of natal" etc, could not go back to India.

Hence there were almost 36K of them.

A fairly satisfactory summary while not 100% factual- about 15-20% of the Indians who came from the British Raj- India, were Muslims; Muslims and Hindus maintain their faiths up today. Being Guyanese Indian, I know some of the sufferings and the steadfast resilience of Guyanese Indians - most are doggedly progressive; non-violent and follow their religion...Once 50.9 % of the population; it is now 40% or slightly under - due to migration and mixed marriages locally.

Former slaves were not given any land and they didn’t want to work on plantation considered slave job. This became big problem everywhere. Ex slaves were never given any land where they worked.
Indentured labor did some small time shop keeping. They were frugal and saved money and bought some land. My observation!Their existence was by and large marginal. There was no big time Indoguyanese land lord. Story was same every where . Unfortunately two communities were pitted against each other. Lots of blame game there!

Guyana politics was messy too. Cheddi Jagan’s Marxist leaning didn’t help guyana or Indian origin people or Guyana in eye of Cold War politics of West.Also that Jim Jones tragedy made it worst.

That is simple. Guiana became their Home Land after living there for years, having Children, Grandchildren etc. The British even had a FUND which provide to pay the passage to any Indian who wants to go back to India. Nobody ever took it. Burnham took it all. Can't remember what he did with it.

Leaving the Asian continent and at the time were able to journey into the Americas and Carribbean spreading out in their different tribes and belief systems and are to be held with great respect.. They are not responsible for European settlement and African slavery or indentured slavery..And suffered immensely in massacres, and being wiped by diseases brought in by European and African slaves. For which they had no immunity.

Where exactly in this video has it been mentioned that Burnham was responsible for the racial divisions? No where! He, however was responsible for using the already existing racial tensions as a political tool and in turn adding a lot of fuel to it. Let us guess, Burnham must be a saint in your eyes?
Furthermore, on your point about favouring one group over another- Do tell how? The facts have been presented as they happened and you are free to counter them here or in a video on your own channel!
Or by "favouring one group over another" you meant that your people who committed atrocities on another group of people have been exposed?
