My previous work-“Emigration of Indian Labour, 1834-1900”, appeared long ago in 1970 has been re-written with new documents and presented in a new perspective. The area of study has also been extended taking into consideration emigration to other British and foreign overseas colonies besides British Guiana, Trinidad, Jamaica and Mauritius.

Hobsbawm to my previous book is included here in view of its importance and relevance. Indians in the British Overseas Colonies by Panchanan Saha
