Dates for the diary
Every year Mauritians commemorate the anniversary marking the arrival of the Indian indentured laborers to Mauritius on November 2nd in 1834. Under colonial rule during the time, India's population provided the British Empire with a constant ready course of cheap and mobile laborers.
The demand for Indian indentured laborers increased dramatically in the country after the abolition of slavery. Today the date is commemorated through a national public holiday.
Furthermore, Festival International Kreol is held usually held every year from November 27th until December 1st. This lively event celebrates creole culture on the island and usually features dancing, music concerts and literary readings.
Eid al-Fitr is usually celebrated sometime between November and December. This is a day of celebration amongst the Muslim community, marking the end of the religious Ramadan.
