Mauritius is a sovereign nation with a rich history, a diverse culture, and citizens who proudly identify as Mauritian. Nas Daily's recent video titled “1 Minute Mauritius” has caused outrage by inaccurately labeling the current people of Mauritius as "immigrants." This misrepresentation undermines the identity of Mauritians and portrays Mauritius as a "no man's land," which it is not.

Mauritians Are Not Immigrants
Let’s set the record straight. The people of Mauritius today are not immigrants. Like in Canada, where only Indigenous people were present before waves of migration occurred, Mauritius has a history of migration. But over generations, the descendants of these settlers, laborers, and enslaved individuals became citizens of their respective countries. Would Nas Daily dare to make a video calling Canadians "immigrants" today? No, because the backlash would be enormous.

The same principle applies to Mauritians. Generations of people born and raised in Mauritius identify as Mauritian and are proud of their heritage. Nas Daily's statement erases our national identity and reduces us to perpetual immigrants, even in our homeland. This is unacceptable, as it perpetuates harmful stereotypes and implies that Mauritians "don’t belong anywhere."

When Mauritians travel abroad, we are already subjected to being labeled immigrants due to our skin color and origin. Now, thanks to Nas Daily, this label is being imposed on us in our own country. How ridiculous is that?

Understanding the Definition of "Immigrant"
The term "immigrant" is defined as:
"A person who comes to live permanently in a foreign country."
Mauritians, born and living in their own country, do not fit this definition. By calling us immigrants in our homeland, Nas Daily is essentially denying our claim to Mauritius and suggesting that we are a people without a nation.

Historical Context Nas Daily Ignored
Nas Daily’s video also omits crucial aspects of Mauritian history that define our identity:

• The Extinction of the Dodo

The dodo, an iconic species native to Mauritius, was driven to extinction by Dutch colonizers in the 17th century. They hunted the bird mercilessly and introduced invasive species that destroyed its habitat

• Colonial Powers and Slavery

Mauritius was contested by multiple colonial powers, including the Dutch, French, and British. Enslaved Africans and Malagasy people were brought to the island and subjected to inhumane treatment on sugar plantations. These events shaped our history and contributed to our multicultural society.

• Cultural Identity vs. Ancestral Roots

Mauritians may have ancestral roots in India, Africa, China, or Europe, but that doesn’t make them “immigrants.” A Mauritian Hindu is not Indian, a Muslim Mauritian does not claim another country as their own, and no Mauritian waves another country's flag to assert their identity. While we respect and celebrate our diverse heritage, we proudly wave the Mauritian flag and call Mauritius home.

Nas Daily Must Be Held Accountable
By labeling Mauritians as immigrants and failing to provide a full picture of Mauritius’s history, Nas Daily has created a false perception of our country for millions of viewers. This has far-reaching consequences, especially for Mauritians abroad who already face stereotypes and discrimination.

We demand that Nas Daily:

1. Issue a Public Apology: Acknowledge the harm caused by the inaccurate labeling of Mauritians and take responsibility for the misrepresentation.
2. Take Down the Video: Remove the existing video to prevent further spread of this misinformation.
3. Create a New Video: Publish a new video that accurately represents Mauritian history, culture, and identity, highlighting the mistakes made in the original video.

Why This Matters
Nas Daily’s platform reaches millions of viewers worldwide. By spreading such misinformation, he damages the reputation of Mauritius and its people. Mauritians deserve to be respected for who we are – a proud, united nation.

We, the undersigned, call on Nas Daily to correct this injustice and give Mauritius the accurate and respectful representation it deserves.
