This article aims to look at the realities of Indian life in Deli tobacco plantations throughout 1872-1900.

While working on plantations, Indian coolies earned an inadequate wage and had to bear the tremendous burden of life. Through photo narration, it can be understood how the reality of daily life of Indians in East Sumatra, which is currently a marginalized group in Indonesian history textbooks.
