A memorial commemorating the indentured migration of Indian workers from the ghat to the South American country of Suriname, then a Dutch colony. A total of 64 sailing ships carried 34,300 workers to the country from 1873 to 1917. The memorial contains an aluminium statue of a plainly-dressed couple carrying a potli, symbolising the first Indian man and woman to set foot on Suriname, resembling the Baba and Mai monument in Paramaribo.
Contains a heritage gallery.
A memorial dedicated to the 1.6 million Indian workers who were transported to labour in European colonies. The indenture system was a substitute for slavery, which was abolished in many European countries by the 19th century. This resulted to the increasing presence of Indians abroad, especially in Africa, Southeast Asia, the Caribbean and the Pacific.
