Why did the east Indians cama to Guyana how?

The East Indians came to Guyana as indentured labourers. They were brought to the colony by the British during the 19th century to work on the sugar plantations, following the emancipation of enslaved African people. The first group of East Indian indentured labourers arrived in Guyana in 1838. They came mainly from the regions of Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Odisha in India. The majority were Hindus, with a smaller number of Muslims and Christians.

Indentured labourers were recruited in India and brought to Guyana under a system of indentured servitude. They were paid a small wage and provided with basic living conditions, but they were often subjected to harsh working conditions and discrimination. The indentured labour system in Guyana lasted until 1917.

After the abolition of indentured labour, many East Indians remained in Guyana and became citizens of the country. They contributed to the development of Guyana in various ways, including in agriculture, trade, and politics. Today, East Indians make up the largest ethnic group in Guyana, accounting for about 43% of the population.
