Welcome to
No Ties 1879
a podcast where we, two indo-Fijian folks, talk about our experiences growing up IN a white Canadian suburb, and raise awareness about girmit; the British indentured labour system in Fiji.
Uncover our story
Hosted by sibling duo Angelene and Ashneil Prakash, this Indo-Fijian podcast delves into our personal experiences growing up in a predominantly white Canadian town. Together, we shed light on the often-overlooked history of girmit – the British indentured labour system in Fiji – while offering insights into the Indo-Fijian diaspora and the broader cultural impact of this legacy.
