Answer 1

The most characteristically un-Indian; moreover, the reaffirmation of 'Indianness' among diasporic Indian communities should not obscure the critical differences that obtain between them. First, Indians in the Caribbean, and in such places as Mauritius, Malaysia, and Fiji, have scarcely the same relationship to India as do Indians in the U.S., the U.K., Canada, or other countries in the post-industrial West.

Indians in Caribbean nations have been settled so long there that they have no living memory of India, and the principal relations that these Indians have is, and perforce must be, with members of other communities, mainly Africans. There is no 'Indian', properly speaking, in Trinidad or Guyana: one can only speak of Trinidadians, Indo-Trinidadians, Indo-Guyanese, and even East Indians. These designations are not without their problem: thus the term "Trinidadians", with its invocation of the unitary nation-state, obscures the racial divide between Afro-Trinidadians and Indo-Trinidadians, while "East Indians" renders the Indians into parochial figures, implicitly disloyal, at the same time as it makes the Africans the true inheritors of the "West Indian" legacy.
