| Summary: | The year 1860 is a significant year in the consciousness of any South African Indian. This is the year that saw the arrival of Indians from India, to South Africa. They arrived as indentured labourers to act as cheap labour for the English farmers who had found the African labourer unpredictable and sought alternate cheap labour. Here then would have been a transaction involving two colonies of the British Empire. From 1860 to 1911 or the length of the entire period of indentured immigrants, about 26,926 women were brought to South Africa. |
