This Day That Age
A batch of 23 Indian plantation workers, including four women, who had spent the best part of their lives in the Fiji Island, working in sugarcane plantations there, arrived in Madras on April 20 by air from Colombo. A 75-year-old labourer, speaking to a representative of The Hindu in fluent Tamil, said that he left when he was 25. Now, after having spent 50 years in Fiji, he had returned to the home country to see his relatives. He said there were many other Indians in Fiji who had settled down with their families and acquired property. He himself had left behind his sons and grandsons and expected to go back to Fiji after spending a couple of months in this country.
