Hinduism in Fiji

Hinduism in Fiji (Fiji Hindi: फिजी में सनातन धर्) is the second-largest religion, and primarily has a following among Indo-Fijians, the descendants of indentured workers brought to Fiji by the British for colonial sugarcane plantations. Mass immigration ended in 1920, when Britain abolished said indenture system. Fiji identifies people as "Indo-Fijians" if they can trace their ancestry to the Indian subcontinent, Hindus form about 27.9% the population of Fiji.
