Aapravasi Ghat in Port Louis, Mauritius, is a historically significant site that served as an immigration depot for indentured laborers from India, Eastern Africa, Madagascar, China, and Southeast Asia between 1849 and 1923. It played a crucial role in the history of global labor migration during the 19th century. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Aapravasi Ghat commemorates the more than half a million indentured laborers who arrived in Mauritius under the British colonial rule, contributing immensely to the cultural and demographic landscape of the island.
