South Africa would not be what it is today without the contribution of the descendants of those who were delivered by the Truro on our shores.
South Africa must rely also on the legacy of stamina, industriousness and optimism which has indeed been bestowed not only on the Indian community but on all of us by the great adventurous journey which once began with the departure of the Truro.
South Africa is faced with great opportunities which we can now seize and benefit from, if we accept to work together as a nation, irrespective of the divisions which characterised our past.

 Workshop on South Africa in the 1940s
Whereas current South African Indian diasporic imaginings are associated with the right wing politics of the BJP, in the 1940s, they were a part of an international left wing discourse of national liberation coupled with the fight for democratic rights in South Africa.
In South Africa in the 1940s, the politics of the left largely revolved around the fight against segregation and apartheid, and the struggle for democratic rights and citizenship for the disenfranchised, against the backdrop of the growth of fascist movements around the world.
South African Indians are thus responding in different ways to their present predicament, and if anything, any loose sense of community seems (once more) to be splitting on lines of religion, regional origin, or political orientation.

This is a comparative study of the ideological construction of "Indianness" in contemporary Trinidad and South Africa, with implicit references to the situation in India.
I am interested in analysing the ways in which "India" is mobilized in discourses and spaces other than those of nationalism and the nation-state, and in the impact such mobilization might have on questions being raised in India.
In this project, I plan to investigate the material and discursive production--historical as well as contemporary--of the "Indian" woman, in the context of the current refiguring of racial and ethnic identities in Trinidad and in post-apartheid South Africa.
