By 1919, Indian seamen made up 20% of the British sea-going labour force.ДЄfter World War I, a number of Indian soldiers and sailors settled in Britain. Nearly 3,500 Indian seamen were killed in World War I and another 1,200 were taken prisoner. By 1919, their wages had stayed the same, while the British seamen's wages had nearly tripled to ВЈ14.00 a month. In 1914, Indian deckhands earned between 16 and 22 rupees (ВЈ1.00-ВЈ1.50) a month and firemen (who worked with the engines) 20 rupees (less than ВЈ1.50) compared to wages of ВЈ5.10 per month for their British co-workers. Many Bengalis worked on the merchant ships, often working in the depths of the ship in the engine rooms in appalling conditions and for very low pay.
