Indentured servitude is a form of unpaid labor that's similar to slavery but last for a set period of time instead of for life. In practice, many indentured servants died before their term of servitude ended.[1] After the British Empire abolished chattel slavery, it replaced African slavery with indentured servitude of Indians. Between the 1830s and 1910s, 20 million people left India, mostly as indentured servants.[2]
