usha singh you know india has worlds highest illegal immigrants population? So it is just yiu see poor people you are emotional? India is called subcontinent with most diverse societies. We have one of worlds richest peoplw also, all mnc heads indian only, we have poor also, middle class also. Your ancestors area is still rural but the region 300 kms far has metro running. I think jamica doesn’t have a singke metro we have 40 cities running metros.... much more. So plz do not compare population issue . We welcome also ppl but there are theives also.

I found my grandfather's family in buxar, Bihar, a few years ago. I had a copy of his indentureship document, showing some information about his village. When I went there the first family I found was them. They said that their grand parents told them that their grandfather had a brother who became a sadhu and went to Nepal but never returned. They did not know he had come to Trinidad.

Mr Ragbeif would have been amongst the last of his generation or on the tail end of India's migratory journey to Jamaica. Not to be to offensive to Mr. Ragbeif, the vast majority of Jamaican Indians/Indian Jamaicans globally today have no interest regarding Asian religions or customs especially those who are descendants of early indentured workers from 1845 +...Christianity, Catholics being the choice of the majority of J.A. Indians...I'll also make another point in that Jamaica is NOT Trinidad or Guyana where in those countries many Indians have keep hold of their religion, customs, cuisine & some still dress & kept hold of certain dialects & language. Not saying Indian Jamaicans do not celebrate certain celebrations for e.g. Indian arrival day etc because they do, only a very small minority of J.A. Indians continue to keep certain customs & play Indian folk music etc...

When they arrived in Jamaica they had only one name. Such was my great grandfather. He came with his young kids and the British require a last name so they used the father one name as the kids last name. Many people died on their way there and the British captain would log 'one soul died today'

What people dont know is that indians are from Sumer of Mesopotamia who went and live in the indus valley and populated the country. There is also Khmer India with that name similar to Sumer. All religions come from india including Christianity even kung fu/ karate. All roads lead to India not Rome and all its building designs are from India. You can even see indian designs up there is South America, the Incas thats ao similar to peopes of Nepal joining with Tibet. If Abraham of the bible is real he is also from Sumer. Jesus if teal learn to walk on water from when be went to india nd learned the art of meditation as on the mount of transfiguration. I lie not to you about all of this.
