The relationship between India and Fiji began in 1879 when Indian laborers were brought there under the contract system to work in sugarcane gardens. Between 1879 and 1916, at least 60,553 Indians were worked to bring Fiji. When the 20th century started, Indian businessmen and other people also started coming to Fiji. In 1920, the contract system was abolished. Prior to Fiji’s independence in 1970, India was a commissioner since 1948, which was later promoted as High Commissioner after independence.
