Abstract
Fiji Indians emigrated to Australia, New Zealand, Canada and United States of America as early as 1970 when Fiji gained its independence. Emigration has continued since then with peaks during times of political crises, such as the coups of 1987 and 2000, and periods of political uncertainty, such as national elections and the formulation of a discriminatory Constitution in 1990. It has experienced troughs during periods of political stability and economic growth. Emigration is fundamentally the consequence of deficits in human development, especially in relation to human insecurity encompassing political exclusiveness and socio-political and economic insecurity arising from discriminatory socio-economic policies. This article outlines the magnitude and nature of emigration of Fiji Indians. It also discusses the trends, motivations and consequences of their emigration.
