Controlling ‘Coolies’ comprises a notable handbook written in 1889 by James M. Laing, an experienced surgeon involved in the transportation of ‘coolie’ labour from India to the sugar-producing colonies. This manual provides information and instructions for newly appointed surgeons superintendent regarding their professional duties on board ‘coolie ships’. It also offers material on how colonial surgeons could ‘control’ indentured labourers during sea voyages—such as how to punish them in case of violation of orders. The significance of this book lies in understanding the functioning of the indentured labour regime and the encounters between the British and the ‘coolies’ on the ocean or Kala Pani.
