Children of Kala Pani

Children of Kala Pani: Indian Indentured Routes brings together a synoptic overview of the painful experiences of indentured workers across the Global South. It is one of the few attempts here in  South Africa  that speaks to the historiography of indenture as an inclusive analysis of the old Indian diaspora. Children of Kala Pani: Indian Indentured Routes foregrounds the harsh experiences of the diaspora in adopted countries by going beyond the traditional research data, utilizing, e.g., literature, personal accounts. This connectedness renders the Kappal Karans or Jahaji Bheins or Bhais as transnational identities that show more similarities than differences.
