On 1 May 1845, 225 Indians were brought to Trinidad on the Fatel Razack, a Muslim-owned vessel identified as the first ship to bring Indian labourers to the colony.
The passage identifies the Fatel Razack as the first ship to bring Indians to Trinidad, with 225 Indians brought on 1 May 1845; the vessel was Muslim-owned. This arrival initiated a period of indentureship lasting until 1917, during which more than 147,000 Indians came to work on sugarcane plantations. The supplied passages do not name the specific landing site within Trinidad, so the location is recorded at the colony level.
