Indo-Seychellois are people of Indian Origin who live in the Seychelles.

Origins

They were brought in as indentured labourers. The majority were Hindus from North India; Tamil and Telugus from South India and Muslims (of all Indian origins) form the remainder of the population.

Demographic Factors

While Indians represent a small minority, at just over 2%, they have contributed greatly to the culture of the Seychelles.

The majority are Hindu. Muslim, Bahá'í, Sikh, Christian, and non-religious minorities exist. There are a few Mosques and Temples on Mahé. Most speak Creole, French and English. Hindi, Urdu, Bhojpuri, and Tamil are also spoken by minorities, mostly older generations.
