Indians began arriving in the Caribbean in significant numbers during the 19th century, primarily after the abolition of slavery in the British Empire in 1834. The first major wave of Indian indentured laborers came to British Guiana (now Guyana) in 1838, followed by arrivals in Trinidad, Jamaica, and other Caribbean nations. This migration continued until the early 20th century, profoundly influencing the cultural, social, and economic landscape of the region.
