Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.

Cricket players from Nipole in the West Indies, Shivnarine Chanderpole and Ramnaresh Salwan are prominent descendants of immigrant workers from India who settled in the Caribbean Sea.

The contracted employees did not receive wages but were generally detained, dressed, and fed.
