It is a sacred designation!In fact the British were adamant that all indentures had a background in agriculture and were aggressive in preventing Brahmins and other high caste people from entering their sugar producing colonies in the Caribbean, and in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. They didn't want to allow those who had the potential to lead the indentures to enter these colonies.
That's a lie. The colonial Indian Govt ensured that the contract (Indentured) workers had all the needed in the new environment, this included religion. They had mandirs and pandits, etc. The only thing lacking were women as most workers were single men. Some pretty women/wives traded up when they arrived. Some men found comfort in the arms (and legs) of African women, and so began Duglarization.
