Do not blame us for we are the descendents of girmitiyas. If you want to blame for the indians/hindustani in fiji blame the british for it is they that took Indians all over the world, Jamaica, Cuba, Trinidad, South Africa, Mozambique, United Kingdom, Fiji, Solomon Islands, Canada, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, Venezuela, Puerto Valla, Britsh Virgin islands, Do not point finger and start blaming Indians for we know nothing, we hv the same rights and responsibility as native fijians.

@tsdurai. Around 50% of fiji indians are of Bihari decent. Tamils in fiji are called Madrasi or Maan dra gee. Alot of these south indians in fiji are ashamed of who they are and they dont like to be called madrasi or South indians. The only proud fiji indians are bihari community who are not ashamed to be called Bihari's.

@nishkov I agree with this. I have met quite a few Tamils from Fiji who only "admitted" it when pressed - like they were ashamed. They were embarrassed to be associated with anything India and tried to mix with the other Islanders in our group with no results (mainly they were made fun of completely). However the one dude who was willing to stick up for his Indian roots (to the point of physicality with the Islanders) was Bihari. Much more proud & fearless as Fijian-Indians.

Its Mother Nature at work !!. . . .its true that Fiji-Indians take on the traits of Native Fijians. I was astonished to see photographs of an Englishman when he left to live in China, and then a recent photo of him some 40 years later. Its an understatement to say he is more Chinese-looking now than some native people from that country !!. So, imagine living in Fiji for centuries, you'll be dancing the CIBI in the streets of Suva soon, if you're not careful !!

Slavery was outlawed in Britain in the early 1800s, but the task of Empire building wasn't yet done up to then. So, instead of Slavery, the Brits turned on their own people, Convicts, and sent them off to Aust, NZ, Can, USA to help build the British Empire. Then they turned to India and conned the poor of India to go as indentured labourers to Fiji etc. They also kidnapped other islanders to work in Aust in sugar fields with no pay. So, descendents of Girmittiyas are entitled to be in Fiji.

Great to see Tamil-Hindu-Fijian culture thriving in Fiji.

@gameplayerucool2 ...thank you...I just feel strong about it and I hope you know I meant no disrespect .

EVERYONE who lives in Fiji is considered Fijian ....yes it was the British who brought my great grandfather from India to Fiji...But I found out that two boats left India and heading for Durban,Africa.One boat made , but one got lost at sea during a storm, once the sea calmed down the nearest island was Fiji. But after the 5 year contract was up most of the Indians went back to India but my great grandfather stayed. And I am glad he stayed. I proud to say that I am Indian Fijian.
