Jahajis, also referred to as Girmitiyas, were labourers from British India sent to work on plantations in Fiji, South Africa and Eastern Africa through indenture. This chapter explores the concept of collective unconsciousness and its manifestation through the memories extracted from Girmitiyas as depicted in Brij V Lal ‘s ‘The Tamarind Tree.’ Brij V Lal's narrative emphasises the portrayal of people’s migration and their arduous journey to Fiji after crossing the challenging “Kala Pani,” where the symbol “I” signifies both individual and collective identity. Drawing upon Carl Jung’s theory of the collective unconscious, where he talks about the archetypes of events, figures and motifs to demonstrate the collective and shared memories, this chapter attempt to make a connection between how the narrative and experiences of Girmitiyas fall under different archetypes of events, figures and motifs. Through a focused textual analysis of Brij V Lal ‘s ‘The Tamarind Tree,’ this chapter seeks to reveal the concept of collective unconsciousness in the narrative of Girmitiyas. Additionally, why do “I” in this narrative represent the whole community? Furthermore, how do the memories extracted from Girmitiyas in ‘The Tamarind Tree’ align with Carl Jung’s theory of collective unconscious, specifically regarding archetypes of events, figures and motifs.
