The migrants of second wave of Indian Diaspora went to settle in which of the following country?

Correct option is C

The correct answer is: (c), Thailand
The Indian diaspora has experienced three main waves of migration, each with its distinct characteristics:
First Wave:
Occurred during British colonial rule.
Indian laborers were sent to British colonies like Mauritius, the Caribbean islands (Trinidad, Tobago, Guyana), Fiji, and South Africa, as well as French and Dutch colonies such as Reunion Islands, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Suriname, and Portuguese colonies like Angola and Mozambique.
Migration was regulated by time-bound contracts known as the Girmit Act (Indian Emigration Act), but living conditions were often harsh.
Second Wave:
Involved migration to neighboring countries like Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Brunei, and some African countries.
This wave included professionals, artisans, traders, and factory workers seeking better opportunities and quality of life.
Third Wave:
Began in the 1960s and continues today.
High-profile professionals like doctors and engineers started migrating out of India, followed by a surge of software engineers, management consultants, financial experts, and media personnel in the 1980s.
Liberalization of the Indian economy in 1991 further facilitated migration driven by education and knowledge-based opportunities.
The Indian diaspora has become one of the most influential globally, with significant contributions in various fields around the world.
