Indo-Trinidadian

Indo-Trinidadians are people in Trinidad and Tobago whose ancestors originate from India. This community resulted from Indian laborers brought to the islands during the 19th and early 20th centuries to work on sugar plantations after the abolition of slavery. Today, Indo-Trinidadians form a significant part of Trinidad’s population, contributing to its cultural diversity through festivals, cuisine, music, and traditions rooted in Indian heritage. They maintain a blend of Indian and local influences, reflecting a unique cultural identity within Trinidad and Tobago's multicultural society.
