Centenaire de l\u2019immigration indienne<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Le monument comm\u00e9morant le centenaire de l\u2019immigration indienne \u00e0 Maurice est un ob\u00e9lisque, haut de douze pieds, qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9voil\u00e9 le 27 septembre 1935, par M. T. K. Swaminathan, le repr\u00e9sentant du Secr\u00e9taire Colonial de Madras, au cours d\u2019une c\u00e9r\u00e9monie solennelle dans l\u2019enceinte du Dayananda Dharamshala \u2013 lieu qui abrite les locaux de l\u2019Arya Sabha Mauritius\u2019 actuellement. <\/span><\/p>\n

L\u2019initiative en revenait au \u2018Comit\u00e9 Organisateur pour la c\u00e9l\u00e9bration du Centenaire de l\u2019Immigration Indienne\u2019 sous la pr\u00e9sidence de M. RK Boodhun (le premier avocat hindou de Maurice) et ayant pour secr\u00e9taire M. Rampersad Neerunjun (qui est devenu plus tard le Chef Juge Sir Rampersad Neerunjun).<\/span><\/p>\n

La c\u00e9r\u00e9monie comm\u00e9morative s\u2019est d\u00e9roul\u00e9e, comme pr\u00e9vu, \u00e0 la satisfaction de tous. Les personnalit\u00e9s suivantes avaient pris la parole en anglais \u00e0 cette occasion historique : M. R. Neerunjun, M. T.K. Swaminathan et M. R. K. Boodhun ; M. Permal Soobrayen \u2013 en Tamoul, le Pundit Luxminarain Chaturvedi et le Pundit Benimadho Sutteeram \u2013 en Hindi.<\/span><\/p>\n

Les \u00e9l\u00e8ves de l\u2019\u00e9cole primaire Aryan Vedic de Vacoas, accompagn\u00e9s du Hindu Band of Mauritius<\/em>, avaient entonn\u00e9 les deux hymnes \u2018God save the king\u2019 et \u2018Band\u00e9 Mataram\u2019. <\/span><\/p>\n

Il est \u00e0 noter qu\u2019\u00e0 cette \u00e9poque lointaine la Municipalit\u00e9 de Port Louis avait cat\u00e9goriquement refus\u00e9 de mettre \u00e0 la disposition du Comit\u00e9 Organisateur un lieu convenable au Jardin de la Compagnie ou ailleurs dans la ville de Port Louis pour \u00e9riger ce monument.<\/span><\/p>\n

C\u2019\u00e9taient finalement les dirigeants de l\u2019Arya Samaj de Dayananda Dharamshala qui avaient mis \u00e0 la disposition du Comit\u00e9 Organisateur un coin tout \u00e0 fait pr\u00e9pond\u00e9rant, \u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9 de l’entr\u00e9e principale de leur institution religieuse pour l\u2019installation de l\u2019ob\u00e9lisque, qui s\u2019y trouve toujours et qui fait partie de notre patrimoine national.<\/span><\/p>\n

Il faut aussi souligner que la comm\u00e9moration de l\u2019arriv\u00e9e des immigrants indiens \u00e0 Maurice, le 2 novembre, d\u2019ailleurs proclam\u00e9 cong\u00e9 public par l\u2019Etat mauricien, est c\u00e9l\u00e9br\u00e9e \u00e0 l\u2019Arya Sabha Mauritius et \u00e0 l\u2019Aapravasi Ghat par des pri\u00e8res, un moment de recueillement et des discours de circonstance.<\/p>\n
