      Aapravasi Ghat (Hindi for immigration border) was a camp for Indian immigrants to Mauritius in Port Louis. From 1834 it served as a stopover for 450,000 people who had taken on work as bonded laborers on the island's sugar cane plantations and were supposed to replace the slaves there after slavery was abolished.

      In 2006, Aapravasi Ghat was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List and is a protected monument in Mauritius. According to the World Heritage Committee, it represents

      “represented one of the first manifestations of what would become a global economic system, as well as one of the largest migrations in history.”
