Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
In India, contract workers were hired on a contract that promised to return to India after working for the employer's plantation for five years. Most Indian contract workers came from the arid districts of what is now East Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Tamil Nadu. The main destinations of Indian migrant workers were the Caribbean islands, Mauritius, and Fiji. Labour contracts in the 19th century have been described as a new slavery system. Living and working conditions were strict, and there were few rights. In the 1900s, Indian nationalist leaders began to oppose the abusive and cruel labour immigration system. It was abolished in 1921.
