Henry Sidambarom


Henry Sidambarom (5 July 1863 – 15 September 1952) was a Justice of the Peace and defender of the cause of Indian workers in Guadaloupe. He was born in Capesterre-Belle-Eau, Guadeloupe, and was a Guadeloupean of Indian origin.


In 1884, he was employed at the head office of Indian immigration to Basse-Terre. In 1904, he filed a lawsuit, demanding French citizenship for the Indians of Guadeloupe. The trial of this suit lasted from 23 February 1904 until April 1923 - almost 20 years - but he won.[1]


In 1948, the City Council and the General Council of Capesterre Belle Eau asked the French government to award Sidambarom the Legion of Honour.[2]


In 2013, the Félix Eboué Prize was dedicated on the 150th anniversary of his birth.[3] In December 2013, the Indian ambassador to France, Arun Kumar Singh, visited Guadeloupe for commemoration of the 150th anniversary of Henri Sidambarom's birth.[4]
