INDIAN ARRIVAL DAY
Date of

every year
Objective
A holiday celebrated in
various countries commemorating the arrival of Indians
to that nation.
Description
It was first celebrated in Skinner Park,
San Fernando, as the East Indian Centenary on May
30, 1945 which marked the hundredth anniversary of
the coming of Indians to Trinidad.
Indian Revival and Reform Association
(IRRA) formed in 1976 formed a committee to revive the
memory of the coming of Indians to Trinidad
on May 30, 1845.
In 1979, the Sanatan Dharm Maha Sabha
agreed to organize a major celebration on May 27,
1979.
The name of the day was then changed to Indian
Arrival Day, because all Indians there were
citizens there and not emigrants any more.
The 1979 celebration was a great success
and included the presence of some of the original immigrants
born in India.
The Hindu community took the lead in the development of
the celebrations of this day every subsequent year.
In the 1990s the Maha Sabha expanded the Indian Arrival
Day celebrations and dubbed the month of May as
"Indian Heritage Month" which ends on Indian
Arrival Day.
Since its establishment in Trinidad, Indian Arrival Day
has given rise to similar celebrations in Jamaica,
the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and Australia.
In different countries, this day is celebrated on
