SHE LIVES IN BRITISH GUIANA, BUT HER HOME IS INDIA 



More than a third of the population of Great Britain's only colony in South America 

 consists of East Indians who were brought to the Western Hemisphere to work on the 

 Guiana sugar plantations after the abolition of slavery. This young woman, like all the 

 other members of her race in South America, has lost caste in crossing the ocean and will be 

 held in disrepute if she ever returns to her homeland.
