The existence of the Indian population in South Africa is not the result of any forcible or illegal entry of Indians into that country. It is, on the other hand, the result of organised emigration mutually agreed upon between the Goy.ernment of India and the Government of Natal.

About the middle of the last century there arose a great demand for labour for the newly started sugar plantations in Natal.
