हिंदी महासागरात आफ्रिकेजवळ वसलेला टिकली एवढा देश म्हणजे मॉरिशस. लोकसंख्या असेल १०-१२ लाख म्हणजे आपल्या सोलापूर औरंगाबाद एवढी. आपल्या निसर्ग सुंदर बीच साठी फेमस असलेल्या बेटावर गेलं तर अनेक मराठी भाषिक लोक आपल्याला भेटू शकतील.अनेकदा आपल्याला प्रश्न देखील पडतो की आपल्यापासून हजारो किलोमीटर दूर असणाऱ्या या देशात एवढे मराठी भाषिक कसे? त्यासाठी आपल्याला मॉरिशसचा इतिहास जाणून घ्यावे लागेल.
Until the Dutch arrived on the island in 1598 under the leadership of Admiral Warwijk, no special relationship was established with the island. Until then, there was no human settlement. The Dutch named the island Mauritius after Prince Maurice, the head of state at NASO.Every European country was trying to establish its own colony. The Dutch tried to establish a colony in Mauritius but they did not succeed. The French later conquered it and from there began to attack the British Indian naval base.
On 15th June 1842, the first ship full of Marathi migrants arrived at Mauritius from Mumbai port. Out of the 173 passengers, 100 were from Ratnagiri, Malvan, Thane, Konkani, and Satara Kolhapur districts of western Maharashtra. The population of Marathi ethnicity will be 18%. Efforts are being made to facilitate the teaching of the Marathi language and Maratha history in the university so that the same heritage can be passed on to future generations.
