Guyanese Indians

[richierich]

I hope I am not revealing anyone's privacy. I am Indian and I was reading about Punjabis from India in Guyana recently.
There was this lady Asha that I saw in Toronto back in 2004. She was Guyanese Indian and looked just like a
famous Indian actress of Punjabi origin at that time. I mean she was an exact replica. I am amazed at how DNA can reproduce so many generations later?

Indians in the West Indies are no different genetically than Indians from India. The ancestry is clear.

Interesting... I'll pick West Indian roti over East Indian roti as a meal any day of the week. Doesn't mean I don't love my butter chicken roti. LOL

It depends. Some have black, native, Hispanic mixture even though it's usually a smaller percentage. Indentured servitude was tough and a lot of people just died at a young age normally. Mix tropical diseases and hard labour in the sun and life expectancy was low. People died out and missionaries had to take care of them if family couldn't. Usually Indians would be insular (some communities there still are) but growing up outside of the culture meant mixing with other races. Also the population was heavily skewed male so they had to get other types of women.

Even people who are still full Indian look different than Indians from India because they're mixed with different ethnic groups from india whereas the kinds of Indians from india who immigrated here are higher caste who have been breeding with their own smaller subsection of their own ethnic group.

It's not as apparent to non Indians, but I could easily tell when someone is from Guyana/Trinidad or from India. At least most of the time.

I believe most come from the southern part of India. Yeah, they are hot.

I use to go to Soca clubs back in the day. The dancing was more intense than most of my sessions.

You don't build a vast empire by being considerate, the British were cunts.

With the Persians destroying the Mughal Empire there was a power vacuum in India. The British had already established a trading base in Kolkata, from there they took the coastal cities of Chennai and Mumbai. Eventually they took over the entire country, first by using Indian armies against the Portuguese of Goa then turning against them. Their motive for conquering the Sub-Continent was to control the diamond trade. At the time India was the only country that produced them. They rule by Julius Caesar's law, divide and conquer. They aligned with the Muslims and Sikhs against the Hindus. Great Britain became exceptionally rich from African slaves, precious gems and cotton. Meanwhile the population starved as the most fertile land was converted cotton. The bulk of the population that arrived in Jamaica, the West Indies and Guyana were predominately Bengali, other areas of India joined in after the British took control of the country. To show gratitude for Indian auxiliaries saving British cunts against the Japanese in Burma, they looted the country as they withdrew by 1947. They did their best to sow discord but in the end only West and East Pakistan were established.

English cunts now feel that they can establish a world trading center in London after they leave the EU, such arrogance! No one is interested, and the British have never apologized for the atrocities they committed against Indians and the Chinese.

The British are denial on the evil they committed, Tom Hardy came under intense criticism from those who considered the Empire the crowning glory of British culture. Taboo's central theme is about a slave ship abandoned off the West African coast, by its crew during a storm, leaving the slaves within to drown. Required viewing. Scuppering of slave ships actually happened.

First let me say, the caste system in India and Indian heritage is garbage that needs to be abolished. Second, it's false to claim that the Indians who immigrate to North America and/or Europe are of a higher caste. That is simply not true. I know many West Indians who would be mistaken for Indian, and many Indians who could be mistaken as West Indian.
