| Resumo: | The indentured Hindostanis survived the plantation life in this sparsely populated Dutch colony with abundant fertile land.

The enormous population growth among the Hindostanis compared to British Caribbean colonies demonstrates this. Their (work) ethos, strong ethnic identity and cultural heritage and the opportunities in Suriname resulted in a success story. |
