Indo-Caribbean identity

Indo-Caribbean identity refers to the cultural and personal sense of belonging shared by people of Indian descent living in the Caribbean, especially countries like Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, and Suriname. It combines elements from Indian heritage—such as language, religion, cuisine, and festivals—with Caribbean influences like local traditions, history, and multicultural interactions. This identity reflects a blending of Indian roots with the Caribbean environment, shaping a unique cultural experience that honors ancestors' heritage while adapting to the diverse Caribbean society. It highlights the rich, hybrid nature of their community's history and culture.
