Background
Both nations were colonised by the British Empire; India supported independence of Trinidad and Tobago from colonial rule and established its diplomatic mission in 1962 - the year that Trinidad and Tobago officially gained independence from British rule. Trinidad and Tobago's largest ethnic group is citizens of Indian descent. The nations possess diverse natural and economic resources and are the largest economies in their respective regions. Both are members of the United Nations, Commonwealth of Nations, G-77 and the Non-Aligned Movement.
Migration
The relationship between India and Trinidad and Tobago started on 30 May 1845, when the Fatel Razack brought 225 indentured labourers to Trinidad from India. Today, 37% of Trinidad and Tobago's population are of pure Indian descent. That number is slightly higher when including multiracial individuals, mostly Dougla people.[3]
Recent relations
In 2010, Indian nationals can now travel to Trinidad and Tobago without a visa and can visit up to 90 days.[4] There has also been initiatives by the Government of India to provide Trinidadians and Tobagonians of Indian descent with Overseas Citizenship of India.
