Celebration of 135 years of Indian Immigration
Current mood: hopeful
Category: Religion and Philosophy
On June 8th, 2008 we are going to celebrate for the first time in church in the Netherlands 135 years of Indian Immigration from India to Suriname.
We are People of Indian origin, coming from Suriname and living in the Netherlands. We are a small group of 100.000 Surinamese Indians, 40.000 of us are living in Den Haag, the Queenstown of the Netherlands. 4% of the Surinamese Indians are christians.
Our ancestors left India 135 years ago to work in Suriname on the plantations after the abolition of slavery. A total number of 64 ships crossed the oceans to sail from India to Suriname. The working conditions were very hard in Suriname.
In the 1970's - when Suriname was becoming an independant country- a large group migrated again to the Netherlands where we are living for more than 30 years now.
On Sunday the 8th of June 2008 a DVD will be released in remembrance of 135 years of Indian Immigration, containing Indian Christian songs, sung by Tahira Haider Ali, who performed in Rotterdam last year.
