About Indian Caribbean Publications
This site includes the following portals about the Indian Diaspora in the Caribbean: Books (CHAKRA), Magazines (ICC), Articles, Photos, Videos, etc.
CHAKRA publishes books on a range of perspectives on the (East) Indian presence in the Caribbean, and the wider Indian Diaspora. It also provides a medium for presenting voice and visibility to writers who (would) have been marginalized by the mainstream press.
Indo-Caribbean Cultural Centre (ICC) is dedicated to publishing two magazines every year – a Divali souvenir magazine, and an Indian Arrival Day commemorative magazine. ICC is primarily committed to the production of knowledge about people, issues and events affecting Indians in multi-ethnic Trinidad and the Caribbean.
