The island was not permanently inhibited by human until the arrival of colonial Britain, though Kalinago people, Amerindians, Colonial Spain and Colonial Portuguese stayed there for a brief period.
In this edition, we take you to one of the most exiting loca-tions in the Caribbean region. Barbados is an island nation situated in the easternmost side of the Caribbean region. It is a former British colony. Interestingly, the total population of this island, which spreads across a total area of 430 sq km, is less than three lakhs. The preponderance of the Barbadians speaks English, even though they use a tribal language, similar to English, to communicate among themselves. The majority of them is Christians and has no interest in preventing others from believing in any other religion.
The island was not permanently inhibited by human until the arrival of colonial Britain, though Kalinago people, Amerindians, Colonial Spain and Colonial Portuguese stayed there for a brief period.
The Great Britain first arrived in this island in 1625. Two years later, the island was made a part of their colonial territories. They established several sugar plantations and made African slaves to work in these plantations. Within few years, it became the hub of the African slave trade.
Actually, the hunger for freedom crawled into the mind of each Barbadian only after the eventful year of 1834, in which the slavery was officially abolished. Until the aforesaid year, most of the Barbadians were living a life of a mere slave, who was considered as a mere commodity.
Since the aforementioned year onwards, the country has been undergoing several social, political and economic reforms.
These reforms have gifted them several achievements such as independence and economic growth.
