India-Fiji relations are deeply rooted in a shared historical journey, tracing back to the ancestral legacy of indentured laborers who first migrated to Fiji under Bristish colonial rule.
Today, Indo-Fijians comprise nearly 37% of Fiji’s population, though their share has declined due to emigration to Australia, New Zealand, and other Pacific nations such as Papua New Guinea. Despite this, the community continues to preserve its traditions—language, cuisine, religion, and vibrant festivals—while adapting to local realities.
