Abstract

This article is based on the cultural and tradition influence of Tulsidas Ramcharitmanas in Fiji. In the nineteenth century, these indentured laborers who were separated from India left their country but retained their linguistic tradition and cultural wealth even in difficult times. The importance of cultural and influence of the epic Ramcharitmanas is spread in the world through various stories by the Indian Diaspora. The overseas Indians made the host-land their homeland, they had not only carried their Indian language but also Sanskari Gathari. Sanskari Gathari means Indian culture, rituals religious texts, etc. Indians in the host-land connect their story with Rama's exile; Indians as Indenture labourers or free migrants remember India every day in Fiji, Mauritius, Suriname, Trinidad, South Africa, Canada, etc. have their unique way to connect their identity to Lord Ram.
