Indo-Surinamese
Indo-Surinamese
are nationals of
Suriname
of
Indian
or other
South Asian
ancestry. After the Dutch government signed
a treaty with the United Kingdom on the recruitment of contract workers
, Indians began migrating to Suriname in 1873 from what was then
British India
as
indentured
labourers, mostly from the modern-day Indian states of
Uttar Pradesh
,
Bihar
and the surrounding regions. Just before and just after the independence of Suriname on 25 November 1975 many Indo-Surinamese emigrated to the Netherlands.
