As one of the developed countries in Africa, why are Indians mainly living in Mauritius?

This has a historical origin. Mauritius was occupied by Britain in the early days, and then Britain colonized India and brought Indians to Mauritius, thus laying the foundation for Indians.

Mauritius was originally uninhabited, but it was still divided into British colonies by Portugal after its first discovery in A.D. 1505. Because Mauritius is far away from the African continent and belongs to a remote place overseas, even after hundreds of years of changes, the local population is still very scarce and its development is very backward. The local British colonists didn't want to give up this excellent place at all, so they decided to build it vigorously. At that time, Britain had colonized India, so they directly drove a large number of Indians to Mauritius as laborers to build the island.

But in fact, the Indians who first settled in Mauritius did not account for a particularly large proportion of the island's population. It was not until the end of World War II that the local economy began to flourish. At this time, the people's living standards have been greatly improved. At this time, the per capita GDP of Mauritius is already dozens of times that of India. It can be said that people go up high and see such rich living conditions in Mauritius, and geographically speaking, it is not particularly far from India, so many local Indians have gone to work in Mauritius.

Although it is said that they went to Mauritius to work, in fact, many people came to Mauritius with the idea of panning for gold. When many Indians arrived there, I found that there were actually a large number of Indians here. Therefore, when these Indians come to Mauritius, they feel as convenient as the Tathagata in their second hometown, whether they live or work. These Indians feel very cordial, so they simply settle down and take root and return to their poor relatives in India.

In this way, groups of Indians have moved to Mauritius one after another, and due to the high fertility rate of Indians, after several rounds of childbirth, the proportion of Indians has greatly exceeded the local ethnic groups. Until now, Mauritius is a country with a large number of Indians and Africans.
