Repost from @thebidesiaproject : While indentured history slowly faded away from public memory in India, Bhojpuri folk music never forgot it. Poets, writers, musicians during the colonial era narrated the stories of rural folks, who migrated to British colonies across the world, through their songs. Even today, the pain of migration and longing can be heard in oral traditions across Uttar Pradesh and Bihar in India.
