The Hillcoolies – the majority of coolies on the first two ships to British Guiana were from the dhangur cast. This is how Gillanders, Arbuthnot and Company referred to them – the dhangurs are looked down upon by the more cunning natives of the plains, and they are always spoken of as more akin to the monkey than the man. They have no religion, no education, and, in their present state, no wants beyond eating, drinking, and sleeping; and to procure which they are willing to labour
