由于历史原因，土著斐济人与印度裔斐济人之间的矛盾和冲突十分尖锐，再加上二战后印度裔斐济人人口的增加及政治地位的上升，最终导致了1987年的两次政变以及2000年和2006年的政变。直到2012年，随着大酋长委员会的废除和2013年宪法的修订，斐济的民族冲突才真正得以缓解，并开启了民族融合进程。
Due to historical reason，contradictions and conflicts between indigenous Fijians and Indo-Fijians are very sharp，which led to coups in 1987，2000 and 2006. In addition，it was related to the increase of Indo-Fijians and the rising of their political status after World War II. Till 2012，with the repealing of the Great Council of Chiefs and the amendments to 2013 Fiji Constitution，Fiji’s ethnic conflict was alleviated，leading to the open-up of the process of national integration.
