Description
Indo-Fijian writing is unique. The writers re-present the diasporan situation. Being the descendants of girmityas, they inherited along with the collective memory of suffering and servitude, the girmitya attachment to the Indian traditions, customs, values, religions, languages, music, arts, food and fashion.

But what was important is in all these aspects, the girmityas adopted an egalitarian ethos and practicality and changed themselves.
