Why do so many east Indians live in Fiji?
<|assistant|>
Many East Indians live in Fiji due to the historically close ties between the two countries. During British rule in Fiji, laborers from India were brought in to work on the sugar cane plantations. This resulted in a large-scale migration of East Indians to Fiji, which has continued up until today. These migrants established strong ties with Fijians and have become integrated into Fijian culture. As such, the East Indian population in Fiji is highly esteemed and valued for their contributions.
