    I would like some information on the migration of Indians to Trinidad in the West Indies.
    Year migration began...names of the ships...ports of departures.

    A lot of the Indians in Trinidad and Guyana come from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, and the rest come from Tamil Nadu. Guyana has majority of Indians with Tamil background.

    It seems to me that the Tamil origin people in Guyana had lost their language/culture etc. Now, the Hinduism they practice is of the North Indian variety. Why is this?

    I have some Guyanese friends, they still worship Murugan (not as Skanda or Subramanya) but as Tamil Murugan.

    is there any proof that people in Guyana and Trinidad some are really from Tamil Nadu? Majority of them have facial features of North Indians not South Indans and also most of them from what I know have parents or great grandparents who speak Hindi and other north inian languages?

    There was a guy whose name is Mahendra Nagamootoo in WI cricket team. He is definitely a South Indian

    Anyway, tharsiini said that majority of Trini and Guyanese people have north Indian features, well that is just bullsh*t, I've seen some west indians that look PURE Tamil, some even have the last name as "Kalimootoo", "Pillay", "Naidu"(Tamil or Telugu), and even Andhra origins as "Rao". Lot of them lost their real identity as far as what region they are originally from, and their original language. I have a Tamil friend, and everybody thinks he is from Trinidad, I'm telling you, it is all a mix, but a good percentage of that mix is pure Tamil, skin color and features prove it.

    O.k fine, but isn't so weird that most of them lost the Tamil language and I find all of the Trini or Guyanese people always say that of course their Indian but from North. I didn't come across anyone that is from southern part of India.
