  • "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."
  • "I remember you said he was married twice? Did the sudden location change have something to do with that?
