New Delhi : Hundreds of years ago, people from different regions of United Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Central India went across the seven seas in search of livelihood. The people who went across the seven seas as laborers were called indentured labourers. Indentured laborers also include those who remain rulers in American countries like Mauritius, Trinidad and Tobacco. Today they may have remained the rulers of that place, but their forefathers were from India and all of them left their homeland, their ‘mother-soil’ and crossed the seven seas as indentured labourers. Congress leader and journalist by profession Rajeev Shukla has written a book ‘Teen Samandar Paar’ on the pain of these indentured labourers, which was inaugurated at the World Book Fair organized in Delhi.
