Meeting the Indian Tanzanian Community (#34)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 เม.ย. 2021
- Tanzania's largest ethnic minority, the Indo-Tanzanian community has lived in the country for hundreds of years, some going back to even the Middle Ages. Many are descended from traders or indentured laborers from the state of Gujarat. The largest community is in Kisutu and Upanga in Dar es Salaam. Their history is complicated and sometimes tragic, but no one can deny they are Tanzanian.

That gentlemen was on his way to the groccery store and he stopped to give you an amazing history. Thanks for recording that.
what the local said was correct, all of the Indians arrived in 19th centruary are laborer to work in fields and other areas!
🙂🙂
That economist was awesome
That gentleman was truly gentle and knowledgeable!! 👌👌
Amazing to know the history. Thank you and that gentleman
That economist bhaiya stays in my building 4 floor..many times I meet him in lift and even near reception desk..and talk a lot standing .he is very very nice at heart
Love that Economist.
A true gentleman. Typical Indian personality.
What is his name ,he looks very sensible person
anita khandelwal please thank him ..he is really gentleman...love from India..
If u see any Gujaratis u should say bhai .........bhaiya is said to North indians
That economist represented. Respect to him.
When I was in college we had a lot of foreign students in which I was a part of. Most were Thai, Korean and Indians who would walk together in groups. Since students from African countries were only like four of us; Nigeria, Zimbabwe and Kenya, I was startled when a new transfer student who looked Indian came to sit down where we african kids usually sit. Since he wouldn't hang out with the other regular Indian kids I thought he must have been from South Africa. But when I asked, he proudly said he was Tanzanian. I was surprised but more proud that we all got to represent mother Africa.
That's a beautiful story.
This happened to me, as an international student ten years ago landing in an asian country being welcomed by African students who at first were baffled then surprised when i spoke Swahili and from there on it was like being at home again.
Or the time i decided to talk about Tanzania without any hesitation at a school function and every indian asian was surprised that i was from Africa.
Teaches you a lot about how people have preconceived notions about race and country.
@@mang2453 Tanzanian born indians are mix of religions (Hindu, Muslim , Sikh, Christians) and i don't think a certain religious upbringing makes you loyal to your nation , My loyalty to Tanzania stems from the simple fact that this is my country and i will always remain Tanzanian regardless of my skin color , religion or location ,
and this what is unique about Tanzania we have learnt to live together as Tanzanians (agreed this is not for everyone )
Africa at Heart. Kudos Guys!
Yeah bro and western worlds need to learn that African is not Black peoples continent there alot of races and cultures
'where is your family'
'How many children'
Peculiar Indian questions
and where is bhabi??
Indian parents thinks like that only. Marriage and children with love and affection is the quality life of any human kind.
@@sunilkumar-yp6xt 😂🤣😂🤣.....sahi boley bhai...
It’s not called peculiar..it’s called “typical” Indian questions. Peculiar is negative word.
@Kabir S I am, but we are Indians, we can joke about things, or people but when it comes on country we don’t take it as joke. Country above everything. Other than this particular comment I enjoyed watching the whole video as well reaffirmed that Indians no matter whether they go they only make that nation proud..young or old all are genius just like this economic phd uncle in the video.
You stumbled on the right guy to give us a history lesson. I just learned so much.
Well... bro North Indian dishes is much tasty then south Indian dishes. If you really get taste then come to India. Because India is land of tasty food. I appreciate you vlog. Keep doing.Take care
This was very insightful, the economist taught me a bit of history! I went to pre-school in Kisutu and I have to say, the Indian community was very welcoming. I would go to the temple to drink fresh water whilst waiting for the school bus and got a lot of free food!
Not just any economist, one with PhD and ability to sum up the interesting facts of Tanzania. How come you forgot to ask his name? Could be someone important in that city.
it's sad that some Africans are treated badly in India and some Indians are treated badly in some African countries. I love the respect and kindness that you show people( I am shocked you're from NY). I learned a lot from the economist. I am planning to visit Tanzania I watch a lot of vlogs you are one of the best
Karibu sana Tanzania Noel..
Hello Noel,
It's very sad to read your comment about Africans being badly treated in India is total misunderstanding.India is the country where one can enjoy freedom more than that of one's home country.
I see bright students coming to India for studies and some of them misuse this freedom and they get into drug deals and it's abuse then things go bad. These are a minority but they bring disgrace to the whole Africans.
@@chai_rI'm from india bro and most students who are in supplies and dealing of drugs are Africans here, 2 of them were restricted in 2019.
It's the stereotype (which is mostly true) which brings bad name to African students.
Though not all of them are like that, one of my best friend is also African, he is very good in studies.
No country treats you badly as long as there is no offensive thing happening from your side. Moreover, media houses always overhype things. One of my neighbour was African (married to Indian) and she told us that in Nigeria they show churches in India getting vandalised and people misbehaving with Christians. She has started her own channel on YT just to show the reality to her people in Nigeria. Infact, there are some African majority villages in India and they are living since many years. Yeah few people from Africa who come as a student end up brining some 'not allowed' items and get caught/deported but that can happen anywhere in the world. Asian countries take drugs very seriously.
@@vaibhav3946 I like the spirit of your response I said some we have the shameful example of Uganda in Africa, the writing of .T Rajshekar and what we read in media like the racist attacks in greater Noida near Delhi...I never been to India so what I said was based on reading Thanks
The incidental meeting with the economist on the street proved to be a concise history of the Indian diaspora in Tanzania.
Amongst Indians, the Gujaratis, the Sindhis and the Sikhs are possibly the most adventurous. They can be found in most parts of the world going about their lives unobtrusively.
I am not Indian, but I have to admit that the very first human started from Africa while culture and the origin of all the religions and philosophies started from India
Don't know about sindhis and Sikhs, but man Gujaratis are in every country in the world.
I grew up with a lot of Sindhis here in Indonesia. They're quite an affluent community. There's also Gujaratis and Sikhs, though I haven't had the pleasure of knowing as many.
@Abubakar Mohiuddin Tamils are only is highly developed countries like USA Canada , but Gujaratis are literally everywhere
@Abubakar Mohiuddin lol they all r in gulf 😂😂😂😂 middle East is heaven for them
I lived in Tanzania in the year 2006 for a while , it's a great country , good place to live and friendly people around ,unforgettable memory in my life .
🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿
Yes unforgettable
Asking to come inside when someone is talking from outside at the door is very Indian thing... 😅
I visit that area whenever I m in DSM. By the way get that Economist back and have a seperate interview. He really was an ocean of genuine information! Respect
I studied in a school near the Indian temples and the induan community used to assist the students eho came from poor conditions .
As A Tanzanian I can say that Tanzania is a very peaceful country and the people are loving and hospitable no mater their background or culture be it Indian or a native from the deepest part of the country. Id like to believe its the tanzanian spirit.
There is a story about Vasco De Gama - who was helped by a Gujarati trader named Kanji Malam to head towards Indian shores. They met in Malindi in Kenya. This happened between 1497-99.
As the Gujarati Gentleman described how his great-grandfather was brought in as a Sugar Laborer, however if you dig deeper the connection between Gujarat and East Africa goes centuries old. Also it was sheer luck for you to bump in to him, who perhaps was best person that day out in the streets to tell you about the community.
We've had relatives who escaped Edi Amin and settled in different parts of the world. In my city Ahmedabad, we have two gated communities in the western and eastern part of the city that is named as Uganda Park. My Uncle had a house there, he passed few years back. They sold it off.
We are from Nigeria. I studied and worked there. We are back in India but this love for Africa in us Gujaratis is old, very very old.
I was looking for a comment like this. I am so glad that you are back home. It would be so good if all members of the Indian community gradually move back to India, their motherland. Their motherland always will take them back with love.
Thanks for this man ! Love your vlogs especially in TZ
The City of my birth. The name means “Harbor of Peace “ Now I live in NYC. After Corona subsides will visit TZ in near future. Safari Njema!!!!🇹🇿🇺🇸

Is there a Tanzanian community in NYC?
@@TheJournoNYes.
@@maishamazuri9897 Where in NYC? I've come across Kenyans and other East Africans in NYC, but no Tanzanians
I already had fascination for African culture but now I am falling in love with Africa more after watching many of your videos. Thank you from India. :)😍
The land of Unlimited contents! I'm loving these videos. Keep it up 🙌
I love South Indian food infact all Indian food. Love following your journey.
Once again, so very enlightening. Great work, thanks.
Though l am Tanzanian and being rounded by may Indian temple and the primary school l stood was Singh school with temple aside but l didn't think to explore inside their temple,so you made a good work for me and you keep remind my childhood school,thank you sabbatical some times when you miss gongo and matako you do great footages,God bless you.🇹🇿
Glad this brought back some good childhood memories!
@@SabbaticalTommy Next time in an Indian hotel go for South Indian breakfast ( dosa/vada/idly) and Punjabi Lunch ( North Indian) ( veg or non veg)
"Indian" is a Nationality, Not a name of religion. That temple might be Hindu Temple or Sikh Temple.
You are right. The question is how come they don't let Tanzanian media into their Temples. They let you white American with your shorts 😮. I don't understand how hyprocasy is can be even beyond religion values 😢
Great ...an American is doing a program on Indians in Tanzania ❤️❤️

Those Indians should go back to their country leave our coutry alone!
@@Sppah697 why do you say that, how have the Indian harmed you,
So what! You treat Africans who lives In India like animals!
True Spirit & Fine Africa..... it is a matter of different situation when you compare indians in Africa to Africans in India. The young African generation think they are very clever and do not need anyone. They hardly think what their country would be like without the businesses and job creations by foreign people, companies and investments from abroad. Ask yourselves first if the Africans will manage on their own. The Asians/Indians are an asset and without their hard work and entrepreneurship, your countries would not be where it is today. The Germans and the British would have left your countries bare and vulnerable same way they did to India. But india bounced back and same way because of Indians' strength and courage that you are enjoying the fruits of their labour. Racism runs in every culture including in the Africans. The young generation needs to be educated in the history of their country.
Hats off man! You’re really exploring Dar es salaam and it’s deep cultures too!
I lived in India and loved their culture. I lived in Mysore which is south India and Delhi. There food is delicious and people are lovely. Made tons of amazing friend and can’t wait to go back.
Love from Mysore❤ glad to know u liked my city
This is great work bro. Thanks
There are people of Indian origin in many countries of the world. I am Indian origin, born in Guyana, South America and currently live in US for the past 35 years. We experience many challenges...racism,discrimination, bigotry. Yet, many of us have survived and succeeded by your diligence and hard work and adopted the customs and culture of our respective countries, and have done better than the natives.
Sad..I can understand the hardship and struggles these people have experienced.
I'm amazed by the way the Tanzania Hindu community is so friendly and welcoming. Keyan hindis are something else I mean most of them not all of them, but again you can't generalize everyone coz of one's experience. Kudos
Karibu Tanzania Asma
I think they adapted to tanzanian culture because tanzanians are so friendly I have been to Tanzania 2016 and 2018 and I loved it
@@dianamkita6571 ni nyumbani dear asante
@@fowziahassan7242 true Tanzanians are very humble people and welcoming
Ukweli usemwe, Kenyan Indians are not friendly as Tanzanians, can't even speak Kiswahili...
Tanzanians are receptive people and with genuine love for each others and foreigners.
Tanzanian love their People and their Country. I have this admiration for Tanzania since, i was little Boy. I fell in love with Tanzania through Julius Kanbarage Nyerere Ujamma philosophy. Since then always have affinity with Tanzania. I end up marrying a Tanzanian and she give me my first Child 2 and half years ago My Daughter was born in Mwanza City. We reside in US
Great video as always.

Pretty cool channel, definitely on the way to 100k
I am from the region and happy to get a history lesson from the economist. Asante sana kwa kazi nzuri unayofanya.
Nice one Thomas.
I was raised in Tanga and for High School I went to a school called Popatlal which was run by some Indian Community if memory serves. At Popatlal is where I had a very good chance to make very good friend of Indian and Arabic decent and learned a bit of the culture and religions. That has served me very well now that I am married to Buddhist.
The British East India company took Indians as indentured labourers to various colonies in African, the Carribbean, Fiji etc.. This story is nearly a century old. Although physically displaced from their mother land, their roots are still in India. Makes me feel proud and lucky to be born in India.
They were not displaced, they chose to leave and when given the chance to return to India many didn’t want to go back.
@@livingfinance exactly.. many actually lied when british were looking for workers to build the railway in east africa. they just wanted to get out of india.
IN SOUTH AFRICA INDAINS WERE SLAVES THATS TRUE HISTORY MANY INDIAN DONT LIKE AS WELL MANY ISLANDS INDIAN WERE SLAVE BRITISH SOLD I. 1700
Loved this Video, Love and thanks from Tamil Nadu, South India
My mother is Indian origin Sikh. she was born in Tabora, Tanzania. Her father was the carpenter who built the Livingstone Memorial.
Pretty amazing footage; i remember this area well 40 yrs back. nothing much changed except for a lot of new buildings.
Nice,
You covered our Gujarati community living in Tanzania, Thank you
Him: pouring rice onto the bread.
Me: NoOoOOo DoNt Do-
I have been to Tanzania ... really refreshing seeing all those sights again ...thanks brother
waoooo, I'm learning a lot about my country here. I have always grown up with Indian families in Manyara region but I didn't know they had a temple in Dar Es Salaam. So thanks again for this awesome video.
They do have some temples in Arusha visit there
Is Manyara a rural area? The economist in the video said Indians in Tanzania are only urban dwellers? I'm not Tanzanian, so pardon my lack of knowledge
The temple in DSM was established well over hundred
Years ago.when the Indians were brought to East Africa by the british.being devout Hindus they built these places
Of worship .unlike Islam the
Hindus never converted other
People to Hinduism.That is the
Beauty of Hinduism.

Nice !! it was interesting that u meet a person who knows the history of Indians in Tanzania on a street corner. Perfect history of Indian settlers in Africa. I remember in the late 60's and 70's a lot of Gujarati's suffered because of nationalization and annexation of their assets in Africa. 👍
Indians were just like Europeans during colonialism, they were second class so as long as Tanzania got independence they had to give what they wrongful accumulated
They better go back to India and leave our Tanzania
Bro u just got a sub... Hope u make more of this interesting vid
I loved your interview with Tanzanuan indian, who was very open in explaining in derail his past. Thank you to you for digging deeper.
This is a great video.
Waaaooow your really exploring Tanzania Ilove it
we need more vloggers like you.awsome vedio.you asked those questions which i mysel has been carriying inside me as an for a long time answer of which of most i got through your vedio.
One of the best video I ever watched. Dont know about tazania this much before
Really enjoyed this video.. the gentlemen explained the explicit truth that apparently nobody wants to talk about!
Dear Mr. Sabbatical !!! I accidentally saw your videos. First one was when you were searching for the banana beer in romba !!! Ans this one. I just love your videos.
What are the chances of meeting an economist on the streets of a Tanzanian Indian community! ….a Great show as always to give us a better understanding of the Indian diaspora in different parts of Africa ~ Thanks!
Thank you so much for making wonderful video love you from nepal
Thank you, as a London born Gujarati, this was fascinating to watch. 🙏🏽
I love your contents.
Very soothing to watch this video.
As an Indian,I appreciate your love for Indian foods.
I’m of Gujarati ethnicity (born and raised in America). My great grandfather’s brother and his descendants are in Dar es Salaam, and my great grandmothers siblings were there too. It’s the same way for us US born too - we are looked as foreigners both here in America and in India as well.

Very interesting from watching your video to learn Tanzania is very rich in cultural diversity. Merchants from India may play big role in Tanzania's economy 👍👍👍liked #97 👌👌 Pleasantly suprised to see Tanzania is home for many Indians/Immigrants or Expats ?
Looking forward to see your visit to another diverse cultures in Tanzania .Maybe Italian , German , Chinese , Korean or Arab community in your next video.?
Many more community insights coming up..
@@SabbaticalTommy I have a question, are many gujrati Indians 🇮🇳 married to Africans
@@paparazzina1 Nope
I comes from a local tribe in Kenya of about 1.6 million people. In my village we have an Indian family( only in colour and appearance) anything else including language is local. They don't know anything Indian The first family came here in 1908.
Really is it true ? I am sock to know that
Wow, that's insane. Even in India we have Siddis, polar opposite my friend.
Very interesting video on Indians in Tanzania. Very little is known on the history of Indians and the current status after all the changes they have lived through there. Most informative and also seeing the huge Hindu temples and the conversations with people. It reflects how Indian culture thrives there. They do have a peculiar East African accent, which also influences the way they speak Gujarati or Hindi. Seems like a very peaceful place and impressed by your adventurous and brave spirit. Motivated to watch more of your videos posted. You are certainly a seeker of the human spirit.
Your best video yet
Nice to have you in DSM. Karibu sana. I actually live nearby, do let me know if you need anything. have a great time!
Sure, thanks for the offer
As an E. African now living in NYC, I am amazed that you never went to any Indian restaurants in NYC where they are in abundance. You had no clue how to eat Indian food from the thali you ordered. As you said there are more Indians in NYC than in Dar but obviously you had no interaction with any. Sorry waitress was no help but You never put rice on chapati bread which you did. Your conversation in the shop with that lady made me laugh so hard. I enjoyed this vlog. You went as a tourist in this pandemic is amazing. The Economist gave a wonderful history lesson so you were lucky to bump into him.
Haha yeah despite my world travels I've just never had much experience with India or Indian food. Hoping to change that
@@SabbaticalTommy Tommy, I wish you were live I would have guided you to eat that food. Traditionally you eat chapati/bread with all the curries and then eat rice with lentil soup at the end. They served eggplant curry and lentils in different forms. You should have removed rice bowl from the plate so you had room to eat. Waitress was no help. Yogurt is a given in our diet. Lentils and yogurt are protein substitute instead of meat. Did you like/enjoy the taste of that food? When you get back to NYC, let me know I can introduce you to some nice Indian Restaurants if you are interested. I am enjoying your vlogs of E. Africa immensely.It is nostalgic for me.
Loved this vlog man, craving Indian food here in Senegal soooo much!!!1 I'm flying to Tanzania to get some India food

It's amazing how the people there are literally walking history.
having spent 7 years in dsm ..these streets bring back so many memories..the final video was taken in the building which has anisuma and qatar near kisutu or temple street
9:00 You struck gold here, Tommy. This is brilliant.
Gujarat is a state in the west coast of India so East Africa is pretty much “across the pond” so to speak. That’s possibly why many Indians there are Gujaratis.
Not actually,they are present in far away Fiji and also western Africa,they like to migrate just like punjabis.
I am aware of that. They are everywhere even USA etc. But I was referring just to why majority of East African Indians are Gujarati and not say Tamil( who are the majority Indians in Malaysia/Singapore). So west coast of India is pretty close to East Africa.

Very interesting episode. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
My mum's birthplace, have visited twice... Great place and yeah great video. Thanks... By the way that Thaali you had... With bread and rice together,well.... Its usually the bread that's eaten with some curries, then you go on to take the rice plus remainder of curries, wash it all down with that lassi.... Gujerati food is a mixture of sweet sour hot and so so.. Glad you enjoyed it.And yes, wonder if you visited Purnima Restaurant it had the best lentil fritters in the world, with its special coconut chutney.
Very interesting and interactive conversation with the fellow Indian/Tanzanian economist. The Indian food looks delicious. I think the bread is called naan.
No the bread is called chapati
@@machinefannatic99 oh good to know. What’s the difference between the two?
Kay Dimarco quite a difference in how it tastes and how its prepaired. I think chapati is more denser and better tasting, its why in eadt africa we eat chapati for break fast lunch dinner. Anyhow
@@machinefannatic99 sounds delicious!
That particular bread was chapati...(wheat flour)... naan is made from maida ...what you use for baking
Looks like these Gujarati people living there were so disciplined compared to India to be frank...happy that our Indians were leading good life in other parts of the world..
AYY TELUGU!
I was born in Fatemi sisal estate in Morogoro District, Tanganyika Territory now Tanzania. My father died in Tanga in 1958 age 50 cremated in hindu crematorium near the sea shore. In those years life was beautiful. I love Africa beautiful continent and wonderful people.
Fun Fact- Freddie Mercury's parents also moved to Tanzania from Gujarat,India. He came back to India to finish his schooling then they all migrated to UK.
Rice and Chappathi (the Indian tortilla 😀) are part of the thali menu .. at home, we usually have either rice or chappathi, but not both. But if both are available, you don’t eat the chappathi and rice together. You have to eat them individually. For example, the rice with its curries and the chappathi with its curries. Next time, try masala dosa with sambar and vada. And a madras filter coffee. 😋
American are reall charmer ...I like your way of treating people with respect and coursty.
For me that was beautiful conversation between old lady at shop. How many kids do you have and were innocent like a kid . Love your video
Lovely video and you kind of hit the right places to know about the cultural blend. The man at the grocery store was absolutely right... though there is lot more to explore. If you are still there do visit The Indo Tanzanian Cultural Center (Shishu Kunj) again on their birthday celebration and you will be able to gather a lot more information.
Interesting episode Tommy .....thanks.
