The objective of this research is to assess and investigate the processes of formation and preservation of identity among the indentured labor populations that emigrated from India after the abolition of slavery in the Indian Ocean and the Caribbean plantations. This work fundamentally challenges the notion of an inherent, static and immutable Indian identity and moves away from those directions in the historiography that are concerned with the continuity and persistence of Indian traditions. Instead, it presents identity as a process, which is dynamic, adaptive, and contextual, and contingent on legal, ideological, political, demographic and economic determinants.

The objective of this research is to assess and investigate the processes of formation and preservation of identity among the indentured labor populations that emigrated from India after the abolition of slavery in the Indian Ocean and the Caribbean plantations. This work fundamentally challenges the notion of an inherent, static and immutable Indian identity and moves away from those directions in the historiography that are concerned with the continuity and persistence of Indian traditions. Instead, it presents identity as a process, which is dynamic, adaptive, and contextual, and contingent on legal, ideological, political, demographic and economic determinants.

This research challenges an assumed and monolithic "Indianness" of the emigrating laborers and identifies the plurality and diversity of their identity in the emigration zones. Drawing primarily from archival research and, to a lesser extent from archaeological research, this study recognizes that a homogeneity of Indian identity developed in the plantation scenario partly due to the restrictive regulations imposed on the indentured laborers, partly through the foisting of a sense of singularity by the colonial administration and partly also through a sense of contradiction and competition with the African-derived populations. The sense of singularity of identity that emerged from a plethora of possibilities in Mauritius in the Indian Ocean, is largely absent in Jamaica, where a "critical mass" of Indian laborers was never attained. Further, the various, educational, religious and nationalist missions that reached Mauritius and helped develop a reciprocal relationship with India, were patently absent in Jamaica, leading to the conclusion that formation of an Indian identity in the plantations was contingent on several processes, and dependent on both the presence of a critical mass and a relation of reciprocity with India.

In conclusion, by identifying the global processes of negotiation of identity within the South Asian indentured labor diaspora, and by using "process" as an organizing schema and identity as an analytical tool, this research contributes a new direction to the emerging field of world history and, at the same time, reassesses South Asian history, Indian Ocean history, and Caribbean history in a global perspective.
