Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
The main destination for indentured labour from India was not Britain. Indentured labour refers to the form of contract labour where labourers work for the employers for a fixed period to pay off the travel to a new country. It was common in India and China in the 19th century. During the 19th century, economic changes affected the poor. They became indebted and were forced to migrate to other countries like Caribbean islands, mainly Trinidad, Guyana, and Surinam. They were employed in the plantations, mines, railways, roads, etc., by the employers.
The correct statement would be that the leading destination for indentured labour from India was the Caribbeans.
