'''Indians in French Guiana''' are mostly descendants of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar indentured labourers from India who live in the French Overseas Department of [[French Guiana]].<br />
<br />
==Migration history==<br />
Between 1838 and 1917 there were 19,276 Indian immigrants to French Guiana.<ref>[http://www.landofsixpeoples.com/news702/nc0705062.html : EAST INDIAN IMMIGRATION, 1838–1917]</ref><br />
Labour from India began to enter French Guiana beginning in 1862. By the mid-1880s, however, the British stopped shipments of Indians in response to allegations that the French were ill-treating indentured to the Indian workers under their employ.<ref>[https://www.ucalgary.ca/applied_history/tutor/migrations/five2b.html : Dutch, French, and British Guiana] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050915170349/http://www.ucalgary.ca/applied_history/tutor/migrations/five2b.html |date=15 September 2005 }}</ref><br />
<br />
In recent years, immigrants of Indian origin have been arriving from French Guiana's neighbouring countries such as [[Guyana]], [[Suriname]], and [[Trinidad and Tobago]].{{Fact|date=April 2013}}<br />
