Nepalese in America seem like they are suffering. But then you look at other immigrants who have gone to other countries. And you realize that they had it a lot worse.

Most Indians were also poor, uneducated, and insecure, and so became easy objects of social contempt and discrimination. The barracks they lived in were dirty and overcrowded; malaria and hookworm infestations were rife. Poverty and poor diet created legions of decrepit and emaciated Indians, provoking further contempt. At Christian missionary schools, Indian kids were ridiculed for their religion and pressured to convert, so not many Indians sent their children to school – until Canadian Presbyterian missionaries finally set up schools in the Indian communities. As historian Bridget Brereton writes, ‘the coercive indentureship, the legal separation of the Indian population, the harsh economic conditions of their existence, the low-status jobs that they filled, all operated powerfully to make all sections of the Trinidad society despise the Indians – even the planters for whose benefit they came.’
