  • The Abolition of Indian Indentured Migration to Mauritius C. Bates, M
    The abolition of Indian Indentured Migration to Mauritius C. Bates, M. Carter & V. Govinden ABSTRACT The passing of a bill in 1917 in the Indian Legislative Council to abolish the use of contracts of indenture to recruit Indian migrants to work overseas has been hailed as a great achievement for Indian nationalists, helping to raise the status of Indians overseas, and improving the working lives of Indian labourers. However, there was a large gap between the passage of this bill and its implementation, which has been overlooked by historians. In Mauritius, the last ship carrying indentured workers arrived as late as 1924 and the last contract of indenture did not expire until 1929. The delay was justified in terms of allowing employers time to ‘adjust’ to the new ‘freer’ labour market conditions. In practice, this adjustment had already begun two decades earlier. Falling sugar prices and the growth of the settled population on Mauritius, had already led to a dramatic reduction in the number of indentured workers being recruited from India compared with the hey-days of sugar in the nineteenth century. Time- expired labourers and their descendants working on short or informal contracts had become the back-bone of the economy. In successive years in the 1900s no migrant ships set sail at all for Mauritius and a growing proportion of Indians who did arrive in the late 19th and early 20th century were traveling as ‘free passengers’. Indians had already found their niche within the economy and rather than look to the colonial government for recognition and enfranchisement, were busy enfranchising themselves.

  • 1. JOHANNESBURG Monday [April 11, 1910]
    1. JOHANNESBURG Monday [April 11, 1910] SENT TO DELAGOA BAY Mr. Achary and 37 other satyagrahis were sent from Pretoria to Delagoa Bay on Saturday. Six of them were certainly not satyagrahis. I cannot say whether they have become so by now. All of them who bear Tamil names are satyagrahis. Thus, the Tamils have been keeping the flag of satyagraha flying. I have given the Tamil names in the English section1 and therefore do not give them here. SHIPS REFUSE I reported in the English section2 last week that some ships had refused to carry those persons who have been deported. I cannot say how far the report is true. But it appears that they have failed to get a ship so far. If India exerts sufficient pressure, no ship will dare carry the deportees. There is strong reason to believe that those who have been deported this time will rouse the whole of India to protest. CHETTIAR 3 [He] was today ordered to be deported and was taken to gaol. Mr. Chettiar is about 55 years of age. He suffers from a chronic ailment, and yet he is facing deportation with the utmost courage. He is to be deported to Natal, from where he will return immediately. OTHER ARRESTS Mr. Chinan Diala4 and Selmar Pillay were arrested and they, too, have been ordered to be deported. 1 Vide “From ‘Transvaal Notes’ ”, 12-4-1910 2 Vide “From ‘Transvaal Notes’ ”, 4-4-1910 3 V.

  • 1. Satyagraha in South Africa1
    1. SATYAGRAHA IN SOUTH AFRICA1 FOREWORD Shri Valji Desai’s translation has been revised by me, and I can assure the reader that the spirit of the original in Gujarati has been very faithfuly kept by the translator. The original chapters were all written by me from memory. They were written partly in the Yeravda jail and partly outside after my premature release. As the translator knew of this fact, he made a diligent study of the file of Indian Opinion and wherever he discovered slips of memory, he has not hesitated to make the necessary corrections. The reader will share my pleasure that in no relevant or material paricular has there been any slip. I need hardly mention that those who are following the weekly chapters of My Experiments with Truth cannot afford to miss these chapters on satyagraha, if they would follow in all its detail the working out of the search after Truth. M. K. GANDHI SABARMATI 26th April, 19282 1 Gandhiji started writing in Gujarati the historty of Satyagraha in South Africa on November 26, 1923, when he was in the Yeravda Central Jail; vide “Jail Diary, 1923.” By the time he was released, on February 5, 1924, he had completed 30 chapters. The chapters of Dakshina Africana Satyagrahano Itihas, as it was entitled, appeared serially in the issues of the Navajivan, beginning on April 13, 1924, and ending on November 22, 1925. The preface to the first part was written at Juhu, Bombay, on April 2, 1924; that to the second appeared in Navajivan, 5-7-1925.
