The origins of the Osman family in Mauritius

The Osman family holds its name from Mahomed Osman, the only son of Tejally, who came to Mauritius as an indentured labourer, from the District of Ghazipore (now called Ghazipur), Uttar Pradesh, India, in February 1879. Mahomed was only 3 years old, and from there, he went to school, worked as a Timekeeper on a sugar estate, and got married four times to finally create that huge Osman family which is still rooted in Mauritius but whose members are scattered all over the world, from the USA to Australia.

"The Vigilant", la revue d'Abdool Raman Osman

Beaucoup ne savent pas qu'Abdool Raman Osman, premier gouverneur général mauricien et premier avocat musulman mauricien, avait fondé une revue en 1929 dont le premier numéro fut publié en juin 1929! Intitutlée, The Vigilant, la revue publiait des papiers d'opinion, de réflexion et d'analyse essentiellement, en anglais. Éditée et imprimée par Raoul Coquet de la Nouvelle Imprimerie Co-opérative de la rue Sir William Newton, à Port Louis, la publication se décrivait comme "une revue mensuelle consacrée à la littérature sociologique" (traduction).
