Their presence began as an experiment after the abolition of the British slave trade left the planters scrambling for labor. Between 1845 and 1917 over 140,000 East Indians were brought to Trinidad to work on sugar plantations. Since then, East Indian Trinidadians have risen among some of the most prominent members in society excelling in business, education and politics. This study examines the success of Indians in Trinidad through many societal factors, particularly cultural factors.
