Read the passage and answer the questions given below- (Attempt any Five)
Nineteenth-century indenture has been described as a ‘new system of slavery’. On
arrival at the plantations, labourers found conditions to be different from what they
had imagined. Living and working conditions were harsh, and there were few legal
rights. But workers discovered their own ways of surviving. Many of them
escaped into the wilds, though if caught they faced severe punishment. Others
developed new forms of individual and collective self expression, blending
different cultural forms, old and new. In Trinidad the annual Muharram procession
was transformed into a riotous carnival called ‘Hosay’ (for Imam Hussain) in
which workers of all races and religions joined. Similarly, the protest religion of
Rastafarianism (made famous by the Jamaican reggae star Bob Marley) is also
said to reflect social and cultural links with Indian migrants to the Caribbean.
‘Chutney music’, popular in Trinidad and Guyana, is another creative
contemporary expression of the post-indenture experience.
