Kenya has the second largest Indian community in Africa, after South Africa. In 2015, there were around 100,000 Indians in Kenya, which is 0.3% of the total population. The majority of Indians live in the major urban areas of Nairobi and Mombasa, with a minority living in rural areas. if you enjoyed content, kindly hit that like 👍 button and subscribe.

Correction, SA has 1.56 millions Indians and Nigeria is second with 800M. Why focus on 0.30% of population, the presence of Indians in Kenya is always blown out proportion, in a country of 55 million people 100K is nothing, there are even those who claim Indians own Kenya. There are few Indians who do manufacturing and construction, majority are into whole stores, those who used to do retail have left, outcompeted by locals. When it comes to black ownership and locally manufacturing industries Kenya is one of the highest in Kenya. Kenya has a large number farmers who are upper middle class and upper class

Indians were not racist in Uganda either. Nor, anywhere else in the world. They wanted to protect their Indian Culture. This is a right for any race of People too. Indians are not racist people. They are industrious n enterprising love to build n show some progress. I am from the West Indies n loving my Ancestral Indian Culture. Saddened I dont have the Language. Our Ancestors faced similar struggles n injustices from some anti-Indian racist here also. This is how they pressured the Indians and forced out communication among them with their own Indian languages: Hindi Bhojpuri, Bengali, Tamil and Urdu The Indian Culture is very rich n signifcantly great that helps them with guidelines to develop n progress fast. You see, the World saw how well Indians in general ( have poor Indians too ) work hard n brilliamt, to progress / develop in Africa.

A lot of Indians came to African countries for work during British colonization. When they were no longer needed, the British didn't pay for their fares back to India as they had promised. So many Indians just stayed because they didn't have money to go back to India. Indians from that time are found in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and South Africa. Many have become citizens of these African countries. Also, there are Christians in India, Catholics and Protestants, they are religous minorities (2.3%) but they are there. The apostle Thomas is known to have gone to India to share the gospel there.

Ivan there is a heavy Indian presence in the West Indies and South America. In Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Suriname and some in Jamaica and Belize as well in Africa where they were taken to Kenya, South Africa and the Mauritius Islands. The British imported Indians under contract from India as indentured laborers after Slavery was abolished because the formerly Enslaved Africans refused to work on the sugar plantations even if they would be paid to do so. They also worked to help the British to build the Railroads in Africa.The terms of the contract was for a period of five years and they were promised a return trip back to India. Some eventually returned but most stayed the majority of which were of the Dalits or what was considered from the lower cast. The indentured service was also offered to Portuguese from Madeira and Cape Verde and Chinese a well at different period. The indentured labors were able to keep their name , culture,religion and to some extent language as opposed to what was not afforded the formerly enslaved Africans.

Priya @20:33 should have noted that the current UK Prime Minister has roots in Indian Kenyan. His biography states that his father, Yashvir Sunak, was born and raised in the Colony and Protectorate of Kenya, which is present-day Kenya. I have Indian Kenyan neighbors in the Upper Eastern region of Kenya. They have truly integrated into the local community, and some have even married locals. These individuals speak the local languages fluently while still preserving their own cultural identity, native language, and faith.

The interview from my Kenyan elder there was an eye opener more so in job opportunities and treatment from both sides. In my childhood l grew up with lndian community.

My ancestors worked very hard buiiding schools, temples mosques for the communtiy. I am proud of my Indian origin but I cannot live in India. I share the same sentiments with the gentlemen.

An extremely informative vlog, your best yet in my view. I watched it over three days, and would have watched more. I'm Jamaican so anything about the motherland attracts my interest. There is just so much to unpack. First, I wish the African residents in India, the Siddis, enjoyed as much acceptance. Generally, the Indian presence in Africa, is a relative success, when compared to the British playing God, and imposing their will on other innocent peoples around the globe. Case in point, the Jews in Palestine, the Rohingyas in Myanmar, enslavement of my African ancestors, and countless other atrocities and violations. In praise of your efforts as a vlogger, were I 45 years younger, I would certainly entertain thoughts of relocating to the motherland, and Kenya especially. Kenya's standards compared to Ghana and others, are very impressive, despite the atrocities endured.

And are you OK with this? These other nations who are in Africa for more than one generation are quite at home in Africa but the Siddis - Africans in India after 500 years, are STILL treated like outsiders and when they speak the native common language, Indians are shocked and ask how they come to know that. Plus they suffer apartheid in India (on top of the caste system which exists defacto) - and needless to say the Indians are most inhospitable to them. But you seem quite pleased to welcome these nations to Africa - who treat Africans - in Africa - as though they are 3rd class citizens! When and how will we ever learn, African?
