Named Indian Arrival Day in 1979, May 30 was in 1994 declared as a public holiday by then Prime Minister Patrick Manning. On May 30 each year, their descendants, who now comprise about half of the Caribbean nation’s 1.3 million multi-ethnic society, commemorate the arrival of their ancestors to these shores. This year marked 180 years since Indian immigrants had first arrived in the island nation.
