dc.description.abstractIn this special edition, Caribbean Report examines the 150th Anniversary of East Indian arrival in the Caribbean. The report looks at East Indian indentureship and its impact on Caribbean societies. In Trinidad and Tobago, the Speaker of the House, Occah Seepaul welcomes the President of India who visited the island as part of the celebration to mark the 150th anniversary. Historian Ron Ramdin examines the importance of the East Indian arrival celebrations. In Guyana, some members of the Afro-Guyanese community reflect on the lingering tensions between the races. Yusuf Ali at the Commonwealth Secretariat looks at how members of the Indian diaspora view their historical past. Dr. David Dabydeen of Warwick University in Britain, comments on whether East Indians in the Caribbean should cling to the past or should they now regard themselves as West Indians. The system of indentureship is explained and the East Indian's contributions to Caribbean societies are discussed. West Indies cricket remains a shining example of unity in the region and Sonny Ramadhin talks about his experiences.en_US
