Instead, indentured labourers who were Indian used to come from the modern-day regions of Eastern Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Central India, and Tamil Nadu. They were sent to work in hazardous situations in mines. Also, the lands were cleared for digging and mining, which was very dangerous for the environment as well as the health of labourers.
