In 1838 the British began to look for alternatives for African slaves for their Caribbean colonies. They began to hire East Indian indentured between 1861-1874. By 1884, most East Indians had moved to other Caribbean nations where there were more South Asians. These locations included Suriname, Guyana Trinidad and Tobago.
Today there are more East Indians coming to Saint Kitts and Nevis from India. These are usually Sindhis who come to start businesses. Other are arriving from Guyana.
The South Asians whose ancestors were indentured servants had converted from Hinduism and Islam to Christianity. More recent South Asian arrivals are usually Hindu Sindhis.
The East Indians in Saint Kitts and Nevis need to have a close relationship with Jesus Christ so they can enjoy life to the full.
Pray for a movement of the Holy Spirit to turn the East Indians to the throne of grace.
Pray for East Indian disciples to make more disciples.
