Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Most Indians who emigrated to places like Trinidad, Malaya, and South Africa in the nineteenth century did so because of a labor shortage in those places, as well as poverty in India. Many were recruited by colonial powers to work as indentured laborers, and later as migrant workers, in industries such as agriculture and mining. This was due to a shortage of local labor in these places, which had resulted from the abolition of slavery and the need for a replacement labor force.
