Zeyawaddy is a small town, 215 km north of Rangoon, Burma. The population of the town and the surrounding villages are descendants of Bihari Indians who came to Burma around 1904. They had migrated to Burma to grow sugarcane. They were of the same ethnic group as those Indians who migrated to Fiji, Mauritius, Durban and Surinam, etc. to grow sugarcane.Fact|date=February 2007
