Monument honouring Indian indentured labourers gets green light

Pioneer Parkland to tell story of the Indian diaspora

A new monument honouring the contributions of Indian indentured labourers to Australia will be built in Pioneer Parkland, Inala, Brisbane.

The monument, which was approved by the Brisbane City Council on Tuesday, will be the first of its kind in Australia and will tell the story of the Indian diaspora in the country.

The monument will feature a bronze statue of an Indian indentured labourer, as well as a series of interpretive panels that will tell the story of the Indian diaspora in Australia.

The monument is expected to be completed by the end of 2023 and will be a significant addition to Pioneer Parkland, which is already home to a number of memorials and monuments.

The Indian diaspora in Australia has a long and rich history, dating back to the arrival of the first Indian indentured labourers in the 1800s.

These labourers played a vital role in the development of Australia's sugar industry, and their descendants have gone on to make significant contributions to all aspects of Australian society.

The new monument will be a fitting tribute to the contributions of the Indian diaspora to Australia, and will help to raise awareness of their history and culture.

The monument is a joint project of the Brisbane City Council and the Indian community in Brisbane. It has been funded by the Brisbane City Council, the Indian government, and the Indian community in Brisbane.

The monument is expected to be a popular tourist destination and a place of pilgrimage for the Indian diaspora in Australia.
