What there is a consensus on is that there is no point in inviting Indo-Fijians to come to India. India is a country about 99 per cent of Indo-Fijians have never visited. They have no link with the land, except that it was home to their forefathers. Most Indo-Fijians have a passive knowledge of Hindi, but their cultural and spiritual traditions are more folkloric. "A 100 years of separation have created a new kind of Indian in Fiji - less concerned with caste, ritual and hierarchy, more enterprising and at home in several cultures," says Brij Lal. The Indo-Fijian's soul is fed by three separate traditions - Oceanic, western and Indian. "As India is so far away, we tend to be more western in our outlook than India. We send our children to Australian, New Zealand and American schools," says Usha Harris.
