In response, the Government of India started the Security and Growth for All in the Region (Sagar Project) in 2015 to increase its presence in the Indian Ocean.
Under this, India has created the infrastructure required for the military base on the North Agalga Island of Mauritius, 3,729 km from Mumbai, it includes runways, jetty, hangers for aircraft. From here, Indo-Mauritius can keep an eye on China’s military ships and submarines in the Western Indian Ocean.

They were called Girmatia laborers i.e. laborers brought on the basis of agreement. The purpose of bringing them is to develop Mauritius as an agricultural country. The British took many laborers from India to Mauritius between 1834 and 1924. Those going to Mauritius were not just laborers.
After the British occupation, Mauritius also had a small, but rich community of Indian Hindu and Muslim traders. Most of the traders who came here were Gujarati. There were many such developments in the 19th century to buy land descendants of laborers. Their economic condition has improved.
About 52% of the total population of Mauritius are Hindus. This country is one of the most per ca from countries in Africa. Mauritius was captured by France in 1715. Its economy then developed, which was based on the production of sugar.
The British managed to capture the island in the wars between 1803 to 1815. Mauritius gained independence in 1968 under the leadership of Sir Sivasagar Ramgulam of Indian origin. This Republic became in 1992 under Commonwealth.
