I'm South Indian Tamil by birth. Today I bow my head with my two hands together and I pray 🙏🏽 giving thanks to my Indian - possible ancestors. They have endured great suffering in their journey of life and in their suffering they have given me an opportunity in my life. May they RIP. The word ‘Coolie’ is definitely nothing to be ashamed off or embarrassed about, it basically means ‘Hard worker’. If anything, the Europeans should be ashamed as to the suffering they have caused the world, they have tried to empower the whole world due their greedy. This video should go viral and should be education for all.

My neighbour in London was from Guyana. She had no idea where her people were from in India. As an Irish person I was horrified. Place and roots are essential to identity in our culture. To have your identity taken from you has to be one of the most cruel acts that human can carry out against human.

As an Irish person you should also know how 'The English' practiced their methods in Ireland first. Enslaved 'Red Shanks' sent off to the Barbadoes. Strip the land of indigenous wood for ship building. Take the land and rent it back to the natives. There was no understanding of 'Rent' in Ireland so much so that when they had no money to pay they used to say 'Tá me in arrears' (I am in arrears). Language and culture outlawed.

But in the end they ended it and in the U.S. SOME PEOPLE LAID DOWN THEIR LIFE TO END IT. We ordinary English people take the blame for what the RICH people did when we were not that much better off than you, why blame us I do not think poor Africans sold slaves it was obviously wealthy Africans money is the root of all evil.

I am from the Caribbean. I have great respect for my ancestors. One of my uncle's mother was impregnated by the son of the plantation owner. She was thrown out into the streets when her pregnancy was known. He grew up in the streets barefoot and dirt poor. Being half caste he was neither white nor Indian but he embraced his Indian heritage and even learned to speak Hindi. Today he is a very successful businessman and quite well off. God is good and merciful.

Makes my heart bleeds. My great grandparents and grandparents were from India. My great grandmother was abducted from home under the pretext that her husband was involved in an accident and the overseer would be taking her to him. She had two children a son and a daughter. The son was the older of the two so she asked her neighbor to babysit him and she took the daughter and went with the, "White Man." He put her on a ship and shipped her off to British Guiana. She was ill the entire journey to British Guiana. She was made to take her baby daughter to the cane fields and cut cane. The advantage taken on these people were really sad. My father despised the British and especially, the king and the entire royal family. British Guiana taxes were sent to England. British Guiana was't being developed because all the taxes after all expenses were met, was sent to England so they could further develop that country. After all these countries and islands gained independence, British Guiana, Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, etc., those places started progressing at a slow rate. Up to now, British Guiana, which is now Guyana is the poorest country in South America. The majority of inhabitants left Guyana and migrated to England, Canada and the USA. Of course the suffering started again because to come to a strange land and start over took much courage. These were mostly East Indians. Now, the white man can't keep them back. They're progressing in leaps and bounds.

Best documentary ever! I am sure it took this man a lot of courage to make this documentary. This documentary needs to be shown in india because they are still suffering from mental slavery. Its good to know your history no matter how awful and in human that was so you can truly honor your ancestors who endured all that so you can be where your are today. My fellow Indians, don't be ashamed from that. Endangered laborers is a fantasy word for slavery. It debilitate you from having a power to fight for justice that's why most Indians never fought or revolted against the systemic slavery their ancestors endured. You can call blacks all the names you want, but they are the strongest people ever. They fought slavery and are not ashamed to tell their stories. They paved the way for injustice to be brought to light. For me endangered is even worst because the Indians think they are better because they are getting paid ( if you considered that a pay) while in reality its a system to create a division between the Indians slaves and the Africans slaves not to unite against the British colony because one slave thinks he is better then the other, but in British mind BOTH ARE THE SAME= SLAVES. Education means nothing if you don't have the knowledge.

Wonderfully put Victoria. It's the divide and conquer mentality. Quick we need a diversion to keep the Indians and Africans from uniting against us said British forces. Indian indentured labourers pay smitterines, loose the shackles, pit against African slaves. British we solved our problem- brillant, absolutely brilliant! The British Empire was so WICKED! No need, absolutely none, to be ashamed of the suffering the indentured endured. With pride I say, as a descendant of indentured labourers, my ancestors were tricked and exploited. Shame on the colonizers that took advantage of my ancestors. No shame on us. I'm so so happy we are facing the reality; our ancestors were gravely wronged and it's high time we set the record right on that.

@@adjjal ....No, rather it is the typical condescending attitude of socialist elites towards the "common man" -- such as that he doesn't know what he is doing when he takes a loan from a payday lender, etc. The indentured servants knew what was happening just as much as the white British workingman understood when he enlisted in the army or the navy of the time. Nobody is going to say that the British Army or Navy was filled with "slaves", even though back then as well as today it is a form of indentured servitude. (You can't just quit the military after you've signed an enlistment contract. Those who go absent without permission are "AWOL", and if they are gone for more than thirty days AWOL, they are "deserters" and go to prison.) The British didn't "re-invent slavery", as indentured servitude had existed in British law long BEFORE colonial slavery; and even many poor whites had become indentured laborers and skilled artisans in the 17th and 18th centuries to get free passage to the colonies of the New World. ....So, why would the BBC decide that it only was slavery when "people of colour" signed these contracts in the 19th century?

@@MrJm323 In your fiercely desperate attempt to underplay and refute the facts in this documentary, and impertinent attitude towards the original Post forming this thread, you have managed to exposed your ignorance. But being ignorant isn't always a problem, but when you're arrogantly ignorant, then it is a problem. What is worse is the obvious fact that you're triggered by the statement that "the British re-invented slavery", and that the Indians consent were obtained without knowledge of what they are getting themselves into. You speak like you have never heard the term "misrepresentation". As a conservative myself, I find it repulsive when people play the race card or the slave card, but I equally hate it when people get triggered and defensive whenever the issue of racism or slavery comes up, all because they feel uncomfortable, or a feeling of guilt is aroused.

I can recall a police corporal called King a large blackman, at the police station in a place called Wismar referring to East Indians as coolies. I thought it was a racial slur. I wish I had seen this before I went there. I can remember the terrible poverty. We had very little contact with the people unless it was in the course of our duty.

I am a descendent of an Indian indentured labourer. India, via Trinidad, and born in the UK. I am so proud of my descendents. It was a momentous decision to leave home, and family, but poverty is a great driver to seek a better life for all. Britain is responsible for so much suffering over the centuries. My respect goes out to all those tortured souls.

Trading their own people to the Americans and Europeans as slaves to gain further wealth and becoming "white".

The 'it was up to them' generally comes from a misunderstanding of the types of people the British targeted. Mainly low-class, uneducated Dalits and Shudras who did not know to read or write (save for a few other castes). Those that did know to read or write did not know English at that time. They were also threatened into indentureship, and even kidnapped. The contracts they received had different conditions written in their languages than the actual contracts in English; in this way, they were deceived into giving up their freedom.

Also, don't forget, most Britons themselves were often no more than serfs as Gandhi pointed out on his visits to the slums of London. Most couldn't read either and were often transported for virtually no reason...it was the Rich of England and sadly, they're still about. There's an MP in Dorset called Drax (sounds like a Bond bad guy right?) who owns a massive family plantation in the Bahamas and the leader of the house, one Rees-Mogg comes from slave-owner stock.

Modern Economic Theory does the same dehumanizing Job , labeling labor ( people), as “ a factor “ of production,instead of “ a partner “ in same.

Hardly no one know or talk about the British, like the only culpable are the Spaniard. Same goes for Portugal, France and others.
