- 01:4201:42, 1 February 2024 diff hist −39 Indo-Guyanese Edited inaccurate information - I.e. Indo-Guyanese have not settled in bulk in Latin American countries as Guyana is part of the British Commonwealth. Very few have as is common and natural for anyone anywhere to do - that is settle where they like - however, it is not a historical, or culturally linked destination, and does not have historical relevance to where Indo-Guyanese predominantly settle which is generally, and historically within the cultural realm of the Commonwealth, the Netherla...

- 07:5907:59, 10 July 2023 diff hist +431 Indo-Guyanese →Culture: Made more accurate - it is not just that Indo-Guyanese culture is more westernized, but that it is ultimately a creole culture which has evolved since colonial days. This pulls from the very definition of creole which are people from diverse ethnic backgrounds who are brought together to live in a region via tumultuous means, and overtime create a blended culture which is a synthesis of the sounding cultures, which ultimately forms it’s own distinct creole culture, reflected in d...

Those who arrived in the 19th and early 20th centuries, of whom the ‘Indo-Guyanese’ definition refers to - arrived from the North leaving from the port of Calcutta, and the south out of the port of Madras. This is reflected in the type of Hindi that was spoken in the British West Indies, which is distinct from the Hindi spoken in India today. Caribbean Hindustani is a creolized Hindustani. Migrants from Bombay in the 19th century were rare, and not the norm - and again, th... Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit
- 12:3312:33, 5 November 2022 diff hist −59 Indo-Guyanese Fixed to make accurate - the mention of Madhya Pradesh is redundant as both North India and the Hindi belt contain the region. Please refer to ‘North India’ in the Wikipedia definition, and ‘Hindi Belt’. Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit

- 12:1512:15, 5 November 2022 diff hist −2 Indo-Guyanese Changed to make historically accurate - it’s North India, extending to Bihar, and leaving from the port of Calcutta, if leaving from that region. East India as a contained geographic region, includes regions which were far more remote during migration - and this is reflected in the dialects and surnames taken abroad.

- 05:0905:09, 16 May 2022 diff hist −15 Indo-Guyanese Omitted ‘Hinglish’ as this is not spoken — the colonial languages are either English or Creole- Hindi languages were not preserved in a form for proper dialogue, and were consequentially lost with few words remaining. The inclusion of ‘Hinglish’ as a colonial language is thus ahistorical and negates the realities of indentured ship and immigration in the 19th century. Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit

- 18:5318:53, 7 May 2022 diff hist −43 Culture of Guyana Corrected the inclusion of ‘Latin America’ - the latter of which is false : Guyana is British and Dutch in terms of its colonial roots, and this is further reflected in the history of the various people who settled there - the most stand out being East Indians who arrived from British India, in addition to British and Dutch settlers. Present day Guyana is a member of the British Commonwealth, and it’s only relation to the rest of Latin America is the fact that it resides on the northern coast... Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit

- 18:3018:30, 16 November 2021 diff hist +13 Indo-Guyanese Corrected ‘slave’ to ‘indentured servants’ - as the former is historically inaccurate - and coalesces the two as being the same thing - which they are not - indentured servants signed a contract, whereas slavery was forced. Secondly, the introduction of Indian migrants to the colony occurred in 1833 after the abolition of African slavery. The misalignment of indentured servitude and slavery not only misrepresents the history of Indian immigration in the 19th-20th centuries but more importantl... Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit

- 21:5421:54, 22 February 2021 diff hist +18 Indo-Caribbean people Made more historically accurate. Indians emigrated - they were not brought — this is an ahistorical statement. Indians at the time were seeking opportunities abroad as a result of various factors happening within British India at the time. Contractual labor was a means of settlement and work to go abroad - agreed upon by those making a decision to go abroad. Tags: Reverted Mobile edit Mobile web edit
