"So Dad... How did your grandparents get from Bihar to Tobago?
"Well Ali, My grandad needed money so he searched and searched until he finally found a job.
Although, the job was very sketchy and mysterious, he had no other choice.
"But, what he didn't know is that he would be brought to Tobago to work on a sugarcane plantation.
"Technically he was not, even though him and others replaced African slaves, were treated terribly, and were paid very low amounts....
"He was considered an indentured slave."
"Hmm.. He worked on a plantation? Was he a slave?
"Yea... it was BAD!
"He was actually on one of the first ships to arrive, but since they were treated so bad, the arrival of more ships was delayed"
Eventually, they were treated better and the others came. But with the increase of people, my grandad worried about being mistreated again. So he escaped!"
" Oh my..."
"Well, places in the south were the best to go to the be surrounded by our culture. If he didn't come here, we would be involved in the creole culture.
"So why did he come to Tobago?"
"Yes! Most of their wives did not want to leave India. That is why most servants were men!" "So my grandma was actually from here unlike my grandad."
