New Zealand s Fijian-Indian community wants government recognition as Pasifika people

For the Fijian-Indian community in Auckland, traditions are important. They re gathering as they would in Fiji to celebrate the Hindu festival of Navaratri.

Over the last century there have been four coups in Fiji spurred by tensions between ethnic Fijians and Indian Fijians.
