 After a period of persistent persecution from 1980s and several coups, which included burning of Hindu homes, arson of temples and rape, Fiji witnessed a wave of emigration of Hindus and other Indo-Fijians to Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Canada and India.About 50,000 of them emigrated after the 1987 coups, between 1987 and 1992 alone.The percentage population of Hindus in Fiji has declined since then, both in total and in percentage terms.
