Zusammenfassung:The indentured Hindostanis survived the plantation life in this sparsely populated Dutch colony with abundant fertile land. Moreover, they capitalized on the opportunities offered by the Dutch Colonial Government which was very satisfied with these 'new colonists'. In fact the Hindostanis prospered in due time. 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.
