Dr. S.
Ramgoolam was the liberator of Mauritius from Britishers. He led the
freedom
movement in the Island of Mauritius and at last, he succeeded in
winning
freedom. Thus, Ramgoolam became the creator of modern Mauritius.
S.
Ramgoolam was born in 1900. He was studious and liked to engage in
reading
books. He qualified as a doctor, but was grieved to see the pitiable
life of
Indian labourers working there.
Mauritius
is an island in the Indian Ocean and it was under occupation of Great
Britain
for centuries. A large number of its population was of Indian origin,
who
worked there as labourer. They were poorly paid and tyrannized by
English
supervisors staying there. Ramgoolam was a sensitive humanist. The pain
and
grief of the downtrodden Indian labourers inspired him to lead freedom
struggle
movement. He instilled in them the will to be free.
Mauritius won freedom from the Britishers. Dr.
Ramgoolam became the Chief Minister in 1959. Then he succeeded to be
the Prime
Minister of Mauritius. He remained as Prime Minister for a long time,
making
plans of progress for this island nation.
