A Guyanese Family Invited Me To Their Home! ()

Few would guess that in an unknown corner of South America lies a country that's majority Indian, and even has an Indian president. And no, not the "Indians" that the Europeans encountered when they arrived in the Americas, but rather Indians from the country of India. In the 1800's, in order to fill a labor shortage left after the abolition of slavery, the British brought over thousands of people from northern India to work as indentured laborers on the sugar plantations. They signed long contracts that were impossible to get out of, and in the end, very few actually returned to India. They stayed, and along with the Afro-Guyanese created one of the most unique countries in the world. On a recent trip to Berbice in eastern Guyana, I decided to meet the community and learn a bit more.
