Indians in French Guiana are mostly descendants of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar indentured labourers from India who live in the French Overseas Department of French Guiana.
Migration history[edit | edit source]
Between 1838 and 1917 there were 19,276 Indian immigrants to French Guiana.[1] Labour from India began to enter French Guiana beginning in 1862. By the mid-1880s, however, the British stopped shipments of Indians in response to allegations that the French were ill-treating indentured to the Indian workers under their employ.[2]
In recent years, immigrants of Indian origin have been arriving from French Guiana's neighbouring countries such as Guyana, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago.[citation needed]
