About: Indo-Fijians

An Entity of Type: ethnic group, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Indo-Fijians or Indian-Fijians (also known as Fiji Indians) are Fijian citizens of Indian descent, and include people who trace their ancestry to various regions of the Indian subcontinent. Although Indo-Fijians constituted a majority of Fiji's population from 1956 through the late 1980s, discrimination and the resulting brain drain resulted in them numbering 313,798 (37.6%) (2007 census) out of a total of 827,900 people living in Fiji as of 2007. Mahendra Chaudhry became Fiji's first Indian-Fijian Prime Minister on 19 May 1999.

  • Indo-Fijians or Indian-Fijians (also known as Fiji Indians) are Fijian citizens of Indian descent, and include people who trace their ancestry to various regions of the Indian subcontinent. Although Indo-Fijians constituted a majority of Fiji's population from 1956 through the late 1980s, discrimination and the resulting brain drain resulted in them numbering 313,798 (37.6%) (2007 census) out of a total of 827,900 people living in Fiji as of 2007. Although they hailed from various regions in the Indian subcontinent, the vast majority of Indo-Fijians trace their origins to the Awadh and Bhojpur regions of the Hindi Belt in northern India. Indians in Fiji speak Fiji Hindi which is based on the Awadhi dialect with major influence from Bhojpuri. It is distinct to the Modern Standard Hindi spoken in India. The major home districts of Fiji's North Indian labourers were Basti, Gonda, Faizabad, Sultanpur and Azamgarh, in the present-day Awadh region of Uttar Pradesh and the present-day Bhojpur region of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Jharkhand. Others (in a smaller quantity) originated in the Tamil and Telugu regions. A Small amount of free immigrants also came from Gujarat and Punjab. Many of the Muslim Indo-Fijians also came from Sindh and Balochistan and various other parts of South Asia. Fiji's British colonial rulers brought Indian people to the Colony of Fiji as indentured labourers between 1879 and 1916 to work on Fiji's sugar-cane plantations. Mahendra Chaudhry became Fiji's first Indian-Fijian Prime Minister on 19 May 1999. (en)
  • Les Indiens des Fidji sont des personnes nées dans les Fidji mais dont les ascendants sont originaires de l'Inde. Ils sont majoritairement descendants des ouvriers amenés par les autorités coloniales britanniques entre 1879 et 1916 pour travailler dans les plantations de canne à sucre des Fidji. Ces ouvriers furent rejoints plus tard par des immigrants du Gujarat et du Pendjab. En 2017 ils constituent environ 38 % de la population fidjienne. (fr)
  • Фиджи-индийцы — один из двух основных народов на островах Фиджи. Численность — 345 тыс. чел. Составляют 49,6 % населения страны. 75 % из них — индоарийцы, остальные дравиды (тамилы и телугу). Основным языком является так называемый фиджийский хинди, основанный на диалектах восточного хинди. Также в быту распространены языки бихари, бенгальский, пенджаби, тамильский и телугу. Межэтническим языком общения с коренными фиджийцами является английский. Религия — индуизм, немногие — мусульмане. (ru)
