The nation would be in a different state if Girmityas would not have come to Fiji.

This was highlighted by Savenaca Rasogo from Vunikawakawa, Labasa while acknowledging the arrival of the Girmityas, their sacrifices, and achievements that abetted in the development of Fiji.

Speaking in Hindustani, Rasogo says the i-Taukei community has witnessed the achievements of Indians in Fiji.

He also apologised to the Indo-Fijian community for what had happened in the past.
