Digital Hinduism: Dharma and Discourse in the Age of New Media , 2017

Abstract

Hinduism in Fiji arrived with the indentured labourers who were brought by the British to work on sugar plantations. For over a century Indo-Fijians, as the Indians are now called in Fiji, have maintained their traditions and ways of life connected to Hinduism. This chapter discusses the state of Hinduism in Fiji in the age of internet as Indo-Fijian community emigrates from Fiji to nations where they cannot command large knit communities as in Fiji. This chapter seeks to define the old diaspora in the context of Indo-Fijians, the place of Hinduism in Indo-Fijian culture, emotional and cultural connection of Indo-Fijians with India and its media.
