Why have historians describe indentured labour as new system of slavery 0?
Answers
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 Slavery Abolition Act 1833 in the British Empire in 1833[2], and in the French Colonies in 1848, and continued until the 1920s. This resulted in the development of a large Indian diaspora in the Caribbean[3], Natal, Réunion, Mauritius, Sri Lanka,[4]Malaysia[5], Myanmar, to Fiji, as well as the growth of Indo-Caribbean and Indo-Africanpopulations.
