The Indo-Caribbean Museum is the only facility in the western world to preserve the instruments, religious texts, tools, jewellery, cooking utensils of the people who migrated from India.

Indian High Commissioner Malay Mishra spoke of the importance of the diaspora networking with each other while referring to the forthcoming 8th annual Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (World Indian Diaspora Conference) set for Jan 7-9 in New Delhi.

'The Caribbean peoples must come to the parley and access the opportunity to network with all the major Indian institutions, central government, state governments and representatives of over 60 countries.'

It is a platform for discussing issues that concern the Indian diaspora, and it promotes the understanding of the Indian diaspora and attempts to involve their expertise in the development process, he said.
