Indo Caribbeans are a community of about 200,000 people in Canada who have come from India to the Caribbean since 1838, and made a second migration to Canada starting over 100 years ago in 1908.

We are part of a wider community of close to a million Indo-Caribbeans who have made second migrations from 12 Caribbean countries where we first migrated starting in 1838, and just over a million Indo-Caribbeans who remain in those 12 countries.

We seek to preserve our culture and heritage that is notably different from that of the the other South Asians in Canada.  But we acknowledge always that our destiny is to make closer ties with other South Asians in order to make a better life for us all. We must also keep close contacts with other second migration Indo-Caribbeans, especially the 400,000 plus now living in the United States.

This community web site aims to provide  fellow Indo Caribbeans,  other Canadians and any interested persons with all  they need to know about the Indo Caribbean presence in Canada.

We welcome contributions of  documents, articles, photographs, opinions, and links to internet sites of interest to Indo-Caribbeans.
