On 29 April 2009 Grenada’s government designated 1 May as Indian Arrival Day, to be observed alongside Labour Day. The commemoration recognizes the arrival of Indian indentured workers and the Indo-Grenadian community formed through their migration. Placing this memory beside slavery’s history should clarify the relationship between the systems without collapsing their different legal statuses and lived experiences.
