Detailed Solution

Indentured labour was abolished in 1921.
Following the end of the slave trade in the early nineteenth century, the Indian indenture system was a system of indentured servitude in which over one million Indians were brought to work in European colonies as a substitute for slave labour. After the abolition of slavery in the British Empire in 1833, the French colonies in 1848, and the Dutch Empire in 1863, the system expanded. Indentureship in India was legal until the 1920s and abolished in 1921. This resulted in the growth of Indo-Caribbean, Indo-African, Indo-Fijian, Indo-Malaysian, and Indo-Singaporean populations in the Caribbean, Natal (South Africa), East Africa, Reunion, Mauritius, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Fiji, as well as a large Indian diaspora in the Caribbean, Natal (South Africa), East Africa, Reunion, Mauritius, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Myanmar.
