The Indian indentured labour in the Caribbean developed new forms of individual and collective self-expression, mixing different cultural forms, old and new : (i) In Trinidad the annual Muharram procession was transformed into a notorious carnival called ‘‘Hosay’’ (for Imam Hussain) in which workers of all religions and races joined. (ii) In the same way, the protest religion of Rasta Farianism (made famous by the Jamaican regge star, Bob Morley) reflected the social and cultural links with Indians migrants to the Caribbean. (iii) ‘‘Chutney Music,’’ popular in Trinidad and Guyana, is another expression of the new culture. (iv) Many indentured workers stayed on after their contracts ended. This fusion was a result of things from different places getting mixed, losing their original characteristics and becoming something new. Consequently, there are large communities of Indian descent in these countries. Famous examples are the Nobel Prize winning writer V.S. Naipaul and West Indies cricketers like Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Ramnaresh Sarwan.
