- Title
Indian Indentured Servitude in Trinidad and the Continuation of Culture.
- Authors
Bunce, Selvi
- Abstract
Indians in Trinidad have been able to maintain a strong sense of self identity due to their response to emigration into a foreign land. Indians have not only adapted to societal change via indentured servitude and the period afterwards, but they have also managed to form a culture unique to East Indians in Trinidad that is both independent and integrated in Trinidadian culture. I will demonstrate this by illustrating the situation in which the Trinidadian Indian community was born, why the Indian traditions that remain in Trinidad do remain, and how this enabled a strong retention of Indo-Trinidadian culture.
