New Hindustan is located in northeastern Pacha. Originally inhabited by various Pachan Aboriginal groups, it came under French colonialism. French colonists and many African indentured servants eventually displaced many of the Aboriginals, at least near the coast. At that time, it was named "French Guiana". However, the colony didn't do well, as diseases and other problems were rife. So in the early 1870s, India offered to purchase the colony. India was intrigued, particularly because of the country's insatiable appetite for cayenne chilli capsicums, or "Cayenne peppers", which came from the French colony. The colony switched hands in 1875 and became "New Hindustan", India's first and only colony in the New World. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, immigration was chiefly from India, and now ethnic Indians make up the bulk of the population. After 100 years, in 1975, New Hindustan was given its independence.
