A Historical and Pictorial Presentation and Tribute to the Tamil Indian Migration and Settlement in Mauritius and their Descendants (1728 To Present Times) and in other Parts of the World' by Professor Dr. Armoogum Parsuramen (GOSK), Founder-President, International Thirukkural Foundation & Chairman, Global Rainbow Foundation and Mr. Satyendra Peerthum, AOYP, Historian, Aapravasi Ghat Trust Fund (Aapravasi Ghat World Heritage Site) & Writer, and Lecturer is a landmark book which is being launched by the Armoogum Parsuramen Foundation marking the 294th anniversary of the arrival of the Tamil artisans and slaves from India to Mauritian shores on 11th November 2022 and the 188th anniversary of the arrival of the Indian indentured workers in Mauritius on 2nd November 2022.

It is estimated that between 1728 and 1930, more than 150,000 Tamil Indian artisans, free passengers including merchants and traders, slaves, and indentured men, women, and children reached the shores of our small Indian ocean island paradise. Out of which the majority were the estimated more than 107,000 Tamil Indian indentured workers who arrived in British Mauritius between 1826 and 1910. This ground-breaking book is essentially the long, complex, and epic social history of their migration, settlement, and of their descendants in the making of the Mauritian state and nation over a period of almost three centuries.
