Abstract

The South Coast as a region is significant in the history of Indians in Natal as it was the only area where they were given grants of Crown land. However, there is a distinct absence of comprehensive studies of regions such as the South Coast of which no specific study existed before the completion in 2013 of my dissertation entitled 'Sugar and Settlers: the colonisation of the Natal South Coast 1850-1910.' Whilst a wealth of research and literature exists concerning the experience of Indians as indentured labourers in Natal, the purpose of this paper is to provide a perspective on Indians as settlers in a particular region, namely, the South Coast, during the white-dominated colonial dispensation.
