Post-abolition, Mauritius recruited indentured laborers from India and other regions for sugar plantations.
After slavery was abolished, attempts were made to secure cheap labor for sugar plantations. Indentured laborers from China, Malay, Africa, and Malagasy regions were recruited. India ultimately supplied the majority of these workers, who arrived via the Coolie Ghat between 1835 and 1924.
