The Trilogy of Savitri's Garden: India to the Americas 1838, (Book1, Part II) - India Rising on the Horizon of the Americas

Book 1, Part II: Upon arriving in the colony of British Guiana, located northeast of the South American continent, on May 5, 1838, immediately the hardships began. Back in India, an official ban on emigration from India had taken place, when the Government of India had learned that many of the Indians on the the two ships, the Whitby and Hesperus, were deceived and kidnapped into boarding the ships. The wrong class of Indian laborers was shipped to the colony to work in the sugarcane fields; the recruiters had grabbed anybody they could get to pack the ships. In Guiana, like the Portuguese, Germans and other groups, the Indians also had a hard time adapting to planation and agricultural life, and there were also many deaths due to tropical diseases. To save their sanity, Savitri, Kalil and their friends wanted to see Georgetown, hoping that they would cross path with their other friends that were working on the other plantations. They did not meet up with their friends. Life went on and at one of their get togethers on the plantation, one of the cooks named, Janhair, was induced into eating pork, which was against his beliefs. Due to the harsh working conditions, many of the laborers had ended up in the hospital, there were also many deaths in the colony. The whip was used on many and there were many escapes from the plantations.
