Wanted to bring up a subject that Vijay Prashad talks about, in terms of unearthing some of South Asian lost history. This post has nothing to do with the Romilla Thapar debate.
When South Asians went to the Carribean, then known as "coolies", what did they do? Who did they meet there? How did they interact with Afro-Carribeans? As Vijay Prashad writes about in "Everybody was Fung Fu Fighting", there is a substantial history of Indo (South Asian)-Carribean, Afro-Carribean, and Chinese-Carribean people meeting on the ground in the Carribean and its a fascinating and useful history. Google search it!
