Tears in Paradise: Suffering and Struggles of Indians in Fiji 1879-2004

Always wanted a copy of my ancestral history... the Girmit Script of my ancestors. I have read every word with so much emotion, tears, pride and love held me tight. Will be reading it again and again. Thanks to Mr Rajendra Prasad for his efforts in putting this amazing book.

It is a must read book. Its about the journey of Indians from India to Fiji and how Indians were lied, betrayed and taken against there will. I loved reading this book and recommend this book to everyone who like reading.

Got my book. Thank you. Very emotional read for my family. Thank you for this gift.

This book gave me glimpse of what my great grandfather experienced. A must read for anyone interested in knowing more about their heritage.

Correction:The book mentions that European overseers with whips in hand physically abusing Indo Fijians indentured labourers as British. Majority of the abusers were not British but white men from New Zealand and Australia, both countries being colonies of Great Britain in late 19th Century.

The British were ruthless, cruel, and the worst perpetrators when it came to the treatment of humans...from the Africas to the Pacific, to the Asian continents, they inflicted pain and suffering in every corner of the earth, on humanity...this is just ONE PIECE of their horrible past, and it must be told truthfully so that the world and our generation knows what happened in the past.

A gut-wrenching read. As an Indo-Fijian, this book provided me much needed information about my ancestors and history. I couldn't stop crying.
