Hosted by sibling duo Ashneil and Angelene, this Indo-Fijian podcast delves into our personal experiences growing up in a predominantly white Canadian town. Together, we shed light on the often-overlooked history of girmit – the British indentured labour system in Fiji – while offering insights into the Indo-Fijian diaspora and the broader cultural impact of this legacy.

35. THE GREATEST MARITIME DISASTER IN FIJI

Remember the Estonia and Titanic? Well the Syria was the indentured labour equivalent! Like the Estonia and Titanic, the Syria was a ship doomed by its crew's negligence. This week we get back into some Girmit history and we talk about the wreck of the Syria. We get into who was there, what happened, why, and how the disaster helped to change regulations and sailing practices for the future. Bottom line, don't drink and sail. But in all seriousness, lives were lost due to carelessness and lack of experience and this is not something to be swept under the rug or forgotten.
