Under the indenture system, which lasted from 1834-1917, the British employed Indian labour for five-year terms, with some 1.2 million Indians serving, largely as plantation workers. For Fiji, a British colony, 60,965 Indian indentured labourers were recruited to work in the country's sugarcane plantations.

Explanation:

The Indian indenture system was a system of indentured servitude, by which 2 million Indians[1] were transported to labour in European colonies, as a substitute for slave labour, following the abolition of the trade in the early 19th century. The system expanded after the abolition of slavery in the British Empire in 1833,[2] in the French colonies in 1848, and in the Dutch Empire in 1863. Indian indentureship lasted till the 1920s. This resulted in the development of a large Indian diaspora in the Caribbean,[3] Natal (South Africa), Réunion, Mauritius, Sri Lanka,[4] Malaysia,[5] Myanmar, to Fiji, as well as the growth of Indo-Caribbean, Indo-African, Indo-Fijian, Indo-Malaysian, and Indo-Singaporean populations.
