About the Book

Unveiling shreds of genealogy and discovering the roots are a recurrent dream of every descendant whose inheritance is linked to the gravy train of slavery, convictism, indentured labour, ‘boat people’ and asylum-seekers. This book is a graphic account of rural Indian peasants who left their rustic homeland in search of their El Dorado in distant colonial outposts. Interwoven with reflections on his Aryan roots and his animated days in Bombay (now Mumbai), the author describes his quintessential journey in 1961 to his ancestral village near Nepal-India border.
As Fiji transitions itself from a military dictatorship to a more democratic trajectory, the author predicts the shape of the political construction that is likely to emerge.

About the Author

Mahendra Sukhdeo was born in Nadi, Fiji, a third generation Fiji Indian whose grandparents migrated as contracted labourers from a remote village near the India-Nepal border in early 1900. Admitted to Elphinstone College, Bombay in 1960, he obtained his B.A. (Hons) and then completed his post-graduate degree in Education from Delhi University and M.A in Politics from University of Bombay. He was the founding Vice President of the newly formed Fiji Labour Party in 1985, he was voted in the first slate of Labour Councillors for Suva City Council. During the turbulent period of 1987/88, he was the Deputy Lord Mayor of the capital City. Along with his political role, he was the Secretary of the India-Fiji Friendship Society from 1974 to 1981, Board member of the Fiji Museum from 1978 to 1980, Board Member of the Hotel and Catering Wages Council (1989-1994), and President of Suva Society for the Intellectually Handicapped (1998-99).
