The East Indian National Association of Trinidad (EINA) was an organisation established in Trinidad and Tobago in 1897 to protect the interests of the Indo-Trinidadian population.[1]
The EINA was established in Princes Town in opposition to Immigration Ordinance No. 12 of 1897.[1]
In 1897 a group of Indians petitioned the West Indian Commission to request Indian representation on the Legislative Council of Trinidad and Tobago.[1]
