Highlights
- Aapravasi Ghat - The Aapravasi Ghat World Heritage Site, located in Port Louis, remains of an Immigration Depot built in 1849, where the modern indentured labour diaspora began. The Aapravasi Ghat site stands as a major historic testimony of indenture in the 19th century. The Aapravasi Ghat was inscribed on 16 July 2006 on the World Heritage List of the Convention concerning the protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage. Aapravasi Ghat is among the oldest surviving immigration depots and depicts the story of more than 462,000 indentured labourers coming mainly from India (97.5%) but also from China, the Comoros, Madagascar, Mozambique and South East Asia. They were recruited to work on Mauritius’s sugar plantations for a period of five years. Two-thirds of these indentured labourers remained permanently in Mauritius. The other one third returned to their homeland or migrated to other lands. Approximately 70% of modern Mauritians are descendants of these indentured labourers.
