The Indo-Fijian community traces its origins largely to indentured labourers brought from British India to Fiji between 1879 and 1916 under the girmit system, as well as later free migrants. Over the twentieth century, descendants of these settlers became prominent in commerce, the professions, and politics in Fiji. Andrew Deoki belongs within this broader context of Indo-Fijian public life.
As an Indo-Fijian politician, Deoki is part of a long line of community representatives who participated in Fiji's evolving parliamentary and civic institutions. The political engagement of Indo-Fijians has been a defining feature of Fiji's post-independence history since 1970.
