Indentured labour was a bonded system of labour that came into existence after the abolition of slavery. Indentured labourers were recruited to work on cotton, sugar and tea plantations, and rail construction projects in British colonies in West Indies, Africa and South East Asia.
A new system of slavery -At that times,living and working conditions were harsh, but the workers discovered their own ways of surviving. Some escaped into the wilds and were even punished,while some others developed new forms of individual and collective self expression, blending different cultural forms, old and new .In Trinidad the annual Muharram procession was transformed into a riotous carnival called 'Hosay' in which workers of all races and religions joined. Similarly the protest region of Rastafarianism is also said to reflect social and cultural links with Indian migrants to the Caribbean. 'Chutney music' popular in Trinidad and Guyana,is another creative expression of the post indenture experience. These forms of cultural fusion are part of the making of the global world, where things from different places get mixed,lose their original characteristics and become something entirely new.
