Are Nicholas Pooran’s parents of Indian origin?

There is not much information available to claim with conviction whether or not Pooran’s parents are of Indian origin, but their ancestors might well have had their roots in India.

As per a verified Twitter user with over one million followers, who had travelled to the St Kitts and Nevis island in the Caribbean, noticed that the houses there resembled the ones found in the Indian state of Bihar.

As per his claim, Bihari labourers were taken to the Caribbean islands by the Britishers to work in the sugarcane farmlands quite some decades ago, and Pooran’s forefathers might well have migrated there from Bihar.

The user even claims to have spoken to Pooran himself on the issue. While the Southpaw batter had no recollection of the story, the user did arrive at the conclusion that Pooran’s great grandfather’s ancestors did speak the Bhojpuri language 3-4 generations ago.
