There is in the village of Cap
Malheureux a large number of catholic living. The most
population of Mauritius is actually Hindus, the rest are
Catholics, Muslims, Chinese. The Hindus were brought in
Mauritius since slavery period; they came on the island to work
in the sugar cane fields until slavery was abolished. The
Chinese community came to the island for commercial purposes.
The Chinese left China to make business in Mauritius Island. A
lot of the Chinese community were married in china and just
never went back and got married in Mauritius and stayed on the
island. The Hindus working in the sugar cane fields also stayed
on the island after slavery was abolished and a large number of
those who were working in the fields received a piece of land.
This is why you will see a large of Hindus having land from
their ancesters. |
