"Totaram Sanadhya came to Fiji as a ginnitiya, or indentured labourer, in 1893. In 1914, he returned to India and together with Benarsides Chaturvedi wrote this book, a powerful indictment of the indentured labour system and the treatment of Indians in Fiji. ... It was one of the most frequently used sources of information and argument during the public movement in Inmdia that led to the abolition of indenture in the 1910s; the movement Gandhi later called the first national sayagraba. ... [This] volume also includes an English translation of The story of the haunted line: a moving story of a man saved from fear and despair by Hindu devotion and the friendship of ethnic Fijians."--Back cover.

"This book is an imaginative and valuable contribution to the literature on Indian immigration. The many new insights it provides are of such importance that one hopes it will serve as a model for work on other indentured colonial populations. It is a "ground breaking work", a basic contribution to the scholarly literature on Indians in Fiji, especially because its wealth of statistical information on the origins of the immigrants and its coverage of the formal structure of the system which brought them to Fiji"--Publisher's description.

"The period 1920-1946 was an important one in the history of Fiji, of the Fiji Indians, and of Indians overseas in general. In 1920 the place of India in the Empire and the Indians in Fiji was undefined. The indenture system had been abolished, but it was not known whether further assisted Indian immigration would be possible and whether the Indians already in Fiji would stay or return to India. If they stayed, would they supplant the indigenous Fijians as the preponderant population of the islannds, and would the local European settlers be able to hold their own against them, or would Fiji be transformed into an area of Indian cultural, economic, and possibly even political dominance? In the period the question of whether the Indian challenge could be contained aroused intense anxiety and discord. The 'Indian problem' as it was popularly known - though it could as well have been called the European problem or the Fijian problem - was, in short, the principal question of Fiji history at that time."--Preface, P. VII.

Revised Edition. TEARS IN PARADISE, extensively researched and eloquently written, is the history of our forefathers who were brought under the infamous indentured labour system to Fiji by the British Colonial authorities from 1879 to 1916. The saga of these young, mostly illiterate, simple rural folks, lured by false promises of an ever-elusive 'Paradise', needs to be read and remembered. The author has done a remarkable task of compiling the story of this Indian Diaspora, people defenceless under an alien and systematically inhumane system, yet preserving their culture while creating the wealth and beauty of the land they made their home.

“It is a milestone in subaltern studies, a biographical journey penned by a living relic of the indentured experience and a scholar whose thoroughly interdisciplinary approach is a good example for the anthropologist, the sociologist or the economist who wish to see the proper integration of their disciplines in a major historical work.” Brinsley Samaroo, University of the West Indies, St Augustine Campus, Trinidad
