- <p>Slavery was abolished in the British empire in 1835.<br> <br> The demand for sugar was exploding with people consuming increasing amounts of sugar in chocolates, tea and sweets.<br> <br> To fuel the growing first-world sugar industry of the late 1800s, 1.3 million Indians were shipped to labor on sugarcane plantations in Mauritius, South Africa, Caribbean, Fiji and Reunion.<br> <br> The indenture system was not too different from slavery. Coolies labored from dawn to dusk, day after day, year after year in inhuman working and living conditions.<br> <br> This book is about the search for my great grandfather and the story of Indian Indenture.</p>
