Factors responsible for indentured labour migration from India :
(i) In the mid-19th century, cottage industries declined, land rents rose, lands were cleared for mines and plantations.
This affected poor people because they were highly indebted and forced to migrate for work.
(ii) Temptation: As the agents provided false information about final destinations, nature of work and living and working conditions, many poor people were tempted to go and work.
(iii) In order to escape Poverty or oppression at home and in villages many migrants agreed to work.
