Nalini Mohabir

Nalini Mohabir’s research in India focused on collecting narratives about the migration and settlement experiences of Indian indentured labourers who were sent to British Guiana (beginning in 1838) and who later chose to return to India. Through her research she was able to track down and interview 2 original passengers and 7 descendants of passengers aboard the ship MV Resurgent – the last repatriation of Indo-Caribbeans back to India.
