Since the arrival of the first Indian Indentured workers in 1860, our forebears endured dreadful working and living conditions, with little time-off. However, when they did get time-off, which was on religious holidays that their masters usually observed, they would often use that time to visit places of worship. That is because religion and culture is so deeply entrenched in the make-up of the Indian community. Today, we reflect on some of those historic religious sites that were built by our ancestors and how these religious institutions have become a core part of our story. We have this discussion with Dr AV Mahomed, Reverend Cyril Pillay and Sunny Pillay.
