Mauritius Travel Warning Mauritius History and Culture History Mauritius was originally discovered by the Arabs as early as the 10th century but never stopped to settle it. The first attempt at colonisation was made by the Dutch who arrived in 1598 and named the island Mauritius after Prince Maurice of Nassau. The colony, however, never really flourished, and the Dutch departed for good in 1710, leaving in their wake the extinction of the dodo and the introduction of African slaves, Javan deer, wild boar, tobacco and sugar cane. In 1715, the French occupied the island which they renamed Isle de France. However, in 1810, the British launched a surprise attack against the French and conquered the island and reverted the name to Mauritius. It then won her independence from Britain on 12 March 1968, remaining within the Commonwealth.

Its chief island, also called Mauritius, lies about 800 kilometres east of Madagascar and about 4,000 kilometres southwest of India. Overpopulation is one of the country's problems. Sugar-cane fields cover about half of the island. Bare, black volcanic peaks tower over the sugarcane fields. Sugar is the island's chief product. The Dutch claimed Mauritius in 1598. Later, France and then Great Britain (now known as the United Kingdom) ruled the island. Mauritius gained its independence in 1968. It remained a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. Port Louis, a city of about 138,000 people, is the capital and leading port.

hr = escape(window.location.href); Culture Mauritius is a crucible of diverse cultures and religions which our migrant populations brought from ancestral soils India, Africa, China and Europe. Hinduism, Christianity, Islam and Buddhism are the most practiced religions. All year long, our rich diversity is celebrated in peace and harmony. Maha Shivaratree Is celebrated in honour of Lord Shiva (February). Following an all night vigil, Hindu devotees, clad in white, carry the "kanwar" - wooden arches covered with flowers- in pilgrimage to Grand Bassin, to fetch holy water from the lake. The whole scene is reminiscent of the great rituals on the banks of the Holy Ganges in India. Divali The most jovial of all Hindu festivals. Celebrated in October/November, it marks the victory of Rama over Ravana and also commemorates Krishna's destruction of the demon Narakasuran. Clay oil lamps are placed in front of every home turning the island into a fairyland of Flickering lights. Father Laval In September people of all faiths flock to the shrine of Father Jacques Desire Laval in Ste Croix, Port Louis. You can almost catch a glimpse of Lourdes in the fervour of the great crowds who attributes miraculous healing powers to Father Laval.
