Mauritius, one of the most developed countries in Africa, why are their main ethnic groups Indians in Asia?

Mauritius, an African island country, has a very developed economy and beautiful natural scenery. However, this country is very small, with a population of less than 1.3 million, while the number of Indians is as high as 900,000, which is the main ethnic group in Mauritius. The main ethnic group in Mauritius is Indians, which is determined by three factors: historical reasons, economic reasons and population growth reasons.

1. Historical factors: British colonial immigrants

Mauritius, far from the African continent, has only a few indigenous people and lives a comfortable life. Later, British colonists occupied here. They think that the geographical location here is very important and strategic, so they have carried out large-scale development. Suffering from the small population on the island, it is impossible to carry out large-scale development, and the British colonists immigrated in large numbers from another colony with a large population. These immigrants finally settled in Mauritius and became the first Indians in Mauritius.

2. Economic reasons: settlement of Indian migrant workers

After the independence of Mauritius, due to the good foundation laid by Indian colonists, the economy developed rapidly, and the people were rich and happy. At that time, India was in dire straits and poor. Many people have no food to eat, and they are in jeopardy. Although Indians in Mauritius have settled in Mauritius, they still have ties with India. Knowing that my relatives and friends are so miserable, I invited them to come and work. So a large number of Indians came to Mauritius.

3. The reason of population growth: the crazy birth of Indians.

Indian traditional ideas and religious beliefs encourage more children. So Indians are very fertile, and Indians who go to Mauritius are no exception. They were born in a big way, so the number of Indians increased rapidly.
