I agree those Siddi community are marginalize, might not have the same opportunity as other Indian, but not on the level how idi Amin treated the Indian community in Uganda, despite the fact that those Indian were living there over 100 years. Indian community face discrimination across African continent, including South Africa, so I think You should stop blaming Indian for being unfair. Indian are trying to improve the condition of All Indian living within the geographical boundary of India.
India does try to treat them better but it isn't enough when they are only provided with a nursery or primary school and no high schools in their villages, so they have to travel to the nearest town for high school (did you watch the video when the kids are running fast to catch the bus at the bus station th-cam.com/video/LAfiGIcY35Q/w-d-xo.html). What pained me was learning that the Siddi people are not living but existing 🥲

Thanks for the lovely comment and here's more: The Arabs were the first to bring Eastern Africans to Asia (many to India and Pakistan) as merchants, carpenters, soldiers etc., however, a few years after African trading and working hand in hand with the Arabs; the Arabs decided to capture Eastern Africans for cheap labour and that was the birth of African enslavement.

This find was one of my best achievement, especially seeing their happy faces on my arrival, amazing [people and very hospitable. The Siddi people have gone through a lot in their lives and they do feel differently when another African looking person visits their villages, however, they are very welcoming and express sadness when a visitor leaves their home or village. They are fully aware that they are African and that they have African ancestors. What I found both sad and intriguing from most of them is the confusion and frustration of not having the slightest idea where in Africa their ancestors might have come from, thanks for liking the video, please share and help raise awareness of the forgotten African Indians, the Siddi people of India!

They consider themselves Indian's and they are. Also about the sports indian authorities thought that just because people are Africans the DNA they can become successful in sports and after years they found out no race is superior without training and good facilities.
They are Indians of course but deep down they know they are children of Africa but don't know where in Africa, they would love to visit Africa just to have a sense of belonging. I would love to organise a trip for some of their village elders and hopefully find an African country that would waiver visa fees and all the red tape around visas

A global fund should be set up by diaspora Africans to help support their educational aspirations and emancipation in that country. Ultimately they should be granted the right to return to the motherland whenever they want.

No one is disputing that but they r of African descent, no need to deny that part of thier heritage, are you ashamed of how poorly treated they are judging by thier standards of living, how come not even one family is rich? Or in position of power?
RJ. I love you my friend. Although I know already a lot about Siddis having read Indian history in detail, you have taught me three times as much about these precious people from Africa. The greatest warrior king of India in the 17th century, Chhatrapati Shivaji knew and respected them. He willingly took many Siddi soldiers defecting from the Muslim armies. The great Siddi warriors helped Shivaji Maharaj win many battles against the nawabs of the Deccan who ruled southern India brutally. Look this aspect of Indian history on line. Shivaji and the Siddis. Thank you and wish you all the best. Contact me if and when you come to the U.S. Google my residence in San Mateo, CA.

These people are absolutely spectacular and beautiful. It’s sad to think that they’re a forgotten people. It’s so great that you are showing them to the world. Do these people have a displaced feeling to you? Considering that they were slaves, kidnapped and abused, they are out of their natural habitat, right?
Hello stranger, you haven't been around here in a while 😂 Well, they treated me like a long lost relative, welcomed in every home, ate with them, stayed with them and it felt like I was home even though I was a stranger. I didn't know there were African Indians in India and learning about them made me return to India and I am happy I did. Most of their ancestors were slaves and these people are jut happy to see another black person who comes from a different world. I have so many videos to upload so stay tuned because they are coming soon, you will have to binge watch all these videos 😂😘
The saddest thing is that they were treated unfairly by previous governments but now things are getting much better for Siddi people even though they live in remote villages where buses can't get to their villages and they have to walk for 1-2km to the nearest bus stop. The saddest thing was that the previous Indian government stopped Siddi people participation in the athletics, maybe in fear that the world will know that there are original Indians of African origin in India
A lot of these people were slave traders on behalf of the ottomans too, so assuming they'll feel a sense of home because of seeing another black man is stupid. Most Siddi communities have adopted the local language and culture of the area, but they only marry within themselves (which is ironically an extremely Indian thing to do).
They certainly are very beautiful and very welcoming.

These people face discrimination and preduices in India because of the colour of their skin...if your fair and lovely Indians will love you Indians are obsessed with fair skin even Bollywood star's like Shah rukh khan endorses fair and lovely creams its the sad truth
After travelling across almost all Indian states, I can honestly say that there aren't many light-skinned Indians across India. However, they portrayal of the few light-skinned India on Bollywood is misleading as it doesn't represent all of India. There is less than 15% of light-skinned Indians in the country. Thanks for liking the video, please share, like and bring friends to the channel
No one face any racism in India. Stop falsifying about the Nation. Sittin g somewhere you probably enjoy doing this. Remember, India has given shelter to Siddis, Buddhists, Christians, Jews, Muslims. Hindus are the best to be frank. They accept every color and the religion.

Siddis came from eastern Africa and it was the Siddi elders who told me that some of their ancestors were taken as slaves by the Portuguese and later by the British, I can't argue with their own testament
In Ethiopian we have Cushitic, Semitic, and North Omotic tribe’s but not Bantu. If these people were enslaved from Africa to India by the Portuguese, they never had any colonial presence or legacy on the land of Ethiopia.
Yes, they are certainly Indians and they are amazing people that most of us never knew they existed. Thanks for liking the video, please share and bring more subscribers to the channel

Siddi people can do very well in atheetucs to win Olympics media for ibdua. But the hindutwa mentality of the modi njo government and the jeius Hindus don't want these beautiful people to shine in Induan hindutwa Raj. What a pity.
If the Indian government can start building up their sport with the inclusion of the Siddi people then India will do well in Olympics and world sport too, but that seems like an unattainable dream for the poor young Siddis
These lovely African Indians are simply the forgotten people of African slave descendants and it is very sad, but they seem happy with the little they have
South Asians, unfortunately, haven't been taught about the diversity in the population that lives there. Pakistan has Sidi discrimination problem as well. Even though Islam teaches to not discriminate based on skin or race, unfortunately most Muslims still haven't learned this lesson. Even Somali discriminate based on ancestry, hair texture and religious beliefs. I hope this ignorance ends.
It is very sad that most South Asian countries haven't been taught or given a history lesson about the cultural diversity in their community. Next year I will be exploring north eastern India where there are Indians who look more Chinese or Japanese and most of the world doesn't know how culturally diverse India is, thanks for liking the video, please share and bring a friend, let's get this video to 10k views
You can say that again! Growing up in Britain we were led to believe that the British are not violent people and when I became an adult I started asking how can non-violent people rule so many countries around the world?❤️

Well said my friend, more videos about these forgotten brothers and sisters coming soon. I spent almost two weeks travelling from one village to another and their stories touched my soul, please share
It's a sad reality brother and my heart bleeds for our people. Most of their villages only have one school that's either a nursery or primary school. High school is far for them.

India has a problem of racism especially against dark skinned indians, or so-called the untouchables which has its roots in Hinduism. Otherwise india has interesting things to offer to the world such as yoga and aryuveda. Even Jesus was once a scholar in India, and, in one book i read online it is said that he rebuked the brahmins for this practice of racism against other people. It is sad because india is one of the countries which supported South Africa especially at the United Nations during the struggle against apartheid but unfortunately was practicing apartheid against dark skinned Indians at home.
That is not entirely correct brother, There are more dark skinned India than light skinned Indians, the light skin are like 15% of the entire population despite Bollywood only casting the light skinned Indians, it's a sad reality. I am not that light skinned and have never experienced any racism or any racial slurs, most indians think that I am Indian until I start speaking, then they quickly conclude that I must be an Indian born abroad 😂 There are so many dark Indians especially in southern India. Thanks for liking the video, please share and help raise awareness of the forgotten African Indians, the Siddi people of India

Unfortunately these poor African Indian people didn't choose to live in foreign countries, they were stolen from Africa and now they don't even know which country in Africa their ancestors came from.

These people “visitors,” from outside want to come to India to “teach,” Indians but if you look in their own countries they have worse discriminations against their own people.
I never said the UK was perfect or any other country for that matter. I think India has done an amazing job with so many different cultures and religions. Point of correction, as a person of colour I hardly noticed any racism in India
Unfortunately our people live in poverty, they rely heavily on farming.

They are not African. Genetically they maybe still but culture, food and in everything they became Indian now. And also Genetic would change within some centuries. That's what science says. By those concept they are no more African. Because if you bring them to Africa they would find difficult to mix with other African people as they already left all African identities long ago.
People of African descent are still living in India and are Indian citizens. On the other hand idi amin expelled all Indian descent peoples from his country in Africa, and many other countries in Africa did the same.
When I was at one bus stop in India, one passenger nearly spat at me from the bus window mate. I am not condescending or demeaning to the Indian people, I pray and hope they stop spitting everywhere

They are fully aware that they are African and that they have African ancestors. What I found both sad and intriguing from most of them is the confusion and frustration of not having the slightest idea where in Africa their ancestors might have come from, thanks for liking the video, please share and help raise awareness of the forgotten African Indians, the Siddi people of India!
This is lovely to know that we have African descendants in India
They are pure Africans who have no clue where in Africa their ancestors came from an that's the sad truth, much love to you my brother ❤️
Great & interesting video
Thank you ever so much my good friend for liking the video.
I love the fact that u have made us realize that Africans are everywhere all over the world
I am glad I have contributed in your knowledge that there are African Indians who are forgotten, even Indian people don't know about them except those indian people who live in the same district as the Siddi people and that's a sad reality. ❤️ Thanks for watching the video, please share and bring friends to subscribe ❤️
Our lost family! Colonialism really did a number on Africans😮😔
It's very sad when you are talking to so many Siddi people because a lot of them wants to visit Africa but don't know where to go. Colonialism and slavery destroyed any connection with their ancestral home/land. Thanks for liking the video, please share and bring friends to subscribe to the channel
@@RJinspire it's so sad😢
Definitely sharing this with others!
Thanks a lot
You are a Siddi? They exist in Africa even today?
They consider themselves Indian's and they are. Also about the sports indian authorities thought that just because people are Africans the DNA they can become successful in sports and after years they found out no race is superior without training and good facilities.
They are Indians of course but deep down they know they are children of Africa but don't know where in Africa, they would love to visit Africa just to have a sense of belonging. I would love to organise a trip for some of their village elders and hopefully find an African country that would waiver visa fees and all the red tape around visas
@@RJinspirethey say some works in Tanzanian language in Swahili....they were bantus from that place...

This African came to india to help India against England as soldiers
👍
Siddis are my fellow Indians.
wow this is interesting, I never knew about this
Thank you for the acknowledgement, I was as shocked and surprised as you when I came across African looking people who couldn't speak a word of English but local Indian languages , so I delved deeper into the mystery of the forgotten people and I was like WOOOOOOOOOW!
Well, more videos are coming to the channel so please bring friends to the channel and share the videos please
@@naaengmann2117 Look up Malik Ambar. He was a Siddi king of India.
I will certainly look into that
When a documentary on black Eskimos.

A global fund should be set up by diaspora Africans to help support their educational aspirations and emancipation in that country. Ultimately they should be granted the right to return to the motherland whenever they want.
If we could help raise funds to build them a high school, it will help their village greatly. Thanks and please share and bring friends to subscribe ❤️

They are the Indians period...

No one is disputing that but they r of African descent, no need to deny that part of thier heritage, are you ashamed of how poorly treated they are judging by thier standards of living, how come not even one family is rich? Or in position of power?
RJ.
I love you my friend. Although I know already a lot about Siddis having read Indian history in detail, you have taught me three times as much about these precious people from Africa. The greatest warrior king of India in the 17th century, Chhatrapati Shivaji knew and respected them. He willingly took many Siddi soldiers defecting from the Muslim armies. The great Siddi warriors helped Shivaji Maharaj win many battles against the nawabs of the Deccan who ruled southern India brutally. Look this aspect of Indian history on line. Shivaji and the Siddis. Thank you and wish you all the best. Contact me if and when you come to the U.S. Google my residence in San Mateo, CA.
Wow, amazing piece of history in yoru brief comment, feel free to link up using the links below the description of my videos.

Thank you Supriyara, please share an bring friends to the channel❤️
These people are absolutely spectacular and beautiful. It’s sad to think that they’re a forgotten people. It’s so great that you are showing them to the world. Do these people have a displaced feeling to you? Considering that they were slaves, kidnapped and abused, they are out of their natural habitat, right?
Hello stranger, you haven't been around here in a while 😂 Well, they treated me like a long lost relative, welcomed in every home, ate with them, stayed with them and it felt like I was home even though I was a stranger. I didn't know there were African Indians in India and learning about them made me return to India and I am happy I did. Most of their ancestors were slaves and these people are jut happy to see another black person who comes from a different world. I have so many videos to upload so stay tuned because they are coming soon, you will have to binge watch all these videos 😂😘
The saddest thing is that they were treated unfairly by previous governments but now things are getting much better for Siddi people even though they live in remote villages where buses can't get to their villages and they have to walk for 1-2km to the nearest bus stop. The saddest thing was that the previous Indian government stopped Siddi people participation in the athletics, maybe in fear that the world will know that there are original Indians of African origin in India
Great job! The English is what's getting me.❤
A lot of these people were slave traders on behalf of the ottomans too, so assuming they'll feel a sense of home because of seeing another black man is stupid. Most Siddi communities have adopted the local language and culture of the area, but they only marry within themselves (which is ironically an extremely Indian thing to do).
They're so beautiful
They certainly are very beautiful and very welcoming.

Gudos bro love and blessings from Kenya
Thanks for the blessings brother from Kenya, please share and let all the people in Kenya know that we have forgotten brothers and sisters who are African Indians.
@@RJinspire>>> we know and infact majority of them are from Kenya and Tanzania. Next time you go back ask them what "maji/mayi) which is water in Bantu swahili and also lak/laki in reference to counting, which 100,000; so two hundred thousand will be referred to as laki mbili or two laki.
You must do research about north east India.
I plan to explore North Eastern India next time. I am only left with those north Eastern parts of India to complete all of India and yes, it's a lot of work and I love it, thanks brother, please keep sharing the video
You are Indians bro welcome Punjab patiala ❤

There are Indians in East Africa who have never been to India and the only language they use is Swahili and English. They came as labourers and some as traders.

Correct they are not Africans.
@@plazmagaming2182 sometimes money acts such imperative sentences
These people face discrimination and preduices in India because of the colour of their skin...if your fair and lovely Indians will love you Indians are obsessed with fair skin even Bollywood star's like Shah rukh khan endorses fair and lovely creams its the sad truth
After travelling across almost all Indian states, I can honestly say that there aren't many light-skinned Indians across India. However, they portrayal of the few light-skinned India on Bollywood is misleading as it doesn't represent all of India. There is less than 15% of light-skinned Indians in the country. Thanks for liking the video, please share, like and bring friends to the channel
No one face any racism in India. Stop falsifying about the Nation. Sittin g somewhere you probably enjoy doing this. Remember, India has given shelter to Siddis, Buddhists, Christians, Jews, Muslims. Hindus are the best to be frank. They accept every color and the religion.

Absolutely not slaves but Swahili people who migrated to Asia
Siddis came from eastern Africa and it was the Siddi elders who told me that some of their ancestors were taken as slaves by the Portuguese and later by the British, I can't argue with their own testament
1:52 😳 What? Habesha ? Abyssinia? Are you telling me that there were people who were taken as slaves from Ethiopia to India?
In Ethiopian we have Cushitic, Semitic, and North Omotic tribe’s but not Bantu. If these people were enslaved from Africa to India by the Portuguese, they never had any colonial presence or legacy on the land of Ethiopia.
These are part of India
Yes, they are certainly Indians and they are amazing people that most of us never knew they existed. Thanks for liking the video, please share and bring more subscribers to the channel
Siddis are East Africans, mainly from Ethiopia
They certainly were stolen from all over eastern Africa and not only Ethiopia. Thanks for liking the video, please share, bring friends and help the channel reach 10,000 subscribers!

Siddi people can do very well in atheetucs to win Olympics media for ibdua. But the hindutwa mentality of the modi njo government and the jeius Hindus don't want these beautiful people to shine in Induan hindutwa Raj. What a pity.
If the Indian government can start building up their sport with the inclusion of the Siddi people then India will do well in Olympics and world sport too, but that seems like an unattainable dream for the poor young Siddis
We hardly see them on TV or any other programs in Indian tv stations .These are the real owners of India
These lovely African Indians are simply the forgotten people of African slave descendants and it is very sad, but they seem happy with the little they have
See my dear friend. These guys are immigrants. If you want give them Africa no one is real owner of India.
first of all don't call him africans they are indians they are indian citizens
They are Indians of African origin, just like Indians of Chinese origin, there's nothing wrong with that, we learn and we grow from that
Heritage is African, you r ashamed of your poor treatment of them, African countries should retaliate by treating Indian descendants the same.
Some are Dougla. We do not collect mixed race. Sorry Dougla you will have to remain in India.
You are also dogla.
Do u even know what it means?
South Asians, unfortunately, haven't been taught about the diversity in the population that lives there. Pakistan has Sidi discrimination problem as well.
Even though Islam teaches to not discriminate based on skin or race, unfortunately most Muslims still haven't learned this lesson. Even Somali discriminate based on ancestry, hair texture and religious beliefs. I hope this ignorance ends.
It is very sad that most South Asian countries haven't been taught or given a history lesson about the cultural diversity in their community. Next year I will be exploring north eastern India where there are Indians who look more Chinese or Japanese and most of the world doesn't know how culturally diverse India is, thanks for liking the video, please share and bring a friend, let's get this video to 10k views
Islam teaches not to discriminate 😂😂. What are you high on 😂😂😂.
Your username is the word they use for non muslims and it's meaning isn't good
Speak for your country not for others. We got taught about diversity of India from school.
@@RJinspire what crap, you are abominable ....suffering from acute inferiority complex and you are full of hateful agenda....
Eyi... The British 🙁 the most selfish nation ever.
You can say that again! Growing up in Britain we were led to believe that the British are not violent people and when I became an adult I started asking how can non-violent people rule so many countries around the world?❤️

The real children of Israel
Well said my friend, more videos about these forgotten brothers and sisters coming soon. I spent almost two weeks travelling from one village to another and their stories touched my soul, please share
They live in poverty, why r they not rich like we have rich Indians in Africa, this is discrimination at its best
It's a sad reality brother and my heart bleeds for our people. Most of their villages only have one school that's either a nursery or primary school. High school is far for them. The only village that speak English are Christian villages. thanks for liking the video, please share and bring friends to subscribe ❤️

India has a problem of racism especially against dark skinned indians, or so-called the untouchables which has its roots in Hinduism. Otherwise india has interesting things to offer to the world such as yoga and aryuveda. Even Jesus was once a scholar in India, and, in one book i read online it is said that he rebuked the brahmins for this practice of racism against other people.
It is sad because india is one of the countries which supported South Africa especially at the United Nations during the struggle against apartheid but unfortunately was practicing apartheid against dark skinned Indians at home.
That is not entirely correct brother, There are more dark skinned India than light skinned Indians, the light skin are like 15% of the entire population despite Bollywood only casting the light skinned Indians, it's a sad reality. I am not that light skinned and have never experienced any racism or any racial slurs, most indians think that I am Indian until I start speaking, then they quickly conclude that I must be an Indian born abroad 😂 There are so many dark Indians especially in southern India. Thanks for liking the video, please share and help raise awareness of the forgotten African Indians, the Siddi people of India
what a 🤡, full of hate man, specially hating on hindusim isn't going to work here buddy
Half knowledge is always dangerous. No one face any racism in India. Stop falsifying about the Nation. Sittin g somewhere you probably enjoy doing this. Remember, India has given shelter to Siddis, Buddhists, Christians, Jews, Muslims. Hindus are the best to be frank. They accept every color and the religion.
I always get angry when they talk about African living outside Africa
Unfortunately these poor African Indian people didn't choose to live in foreign countries, they were stolen from Africa and now they don't even know which country in Africa their ancestors came from. Imagine how painful it continues to be for the Siddi people who wants to visit Africa just to see where their ancestors were stolen from, a very sad reality.

risiculous for no reason, we are all homo sapiens
This is no documentary
okay, that's your prerogative 😂
These people “visitors,” from outside want to come to India to “teach,” Indians but if you look in their own countries they have worse discriminations against their own people.
I never said the UK was perfect or any other country for that matter. I think India has done an amazing job with so many different cultures and religions. Point of correction, as a person of colour I hardly noticed any racism in India
Does that justify your discrimination of Africans? African countries should be hostile to Indians in thier countries, nonsense
They need help
Unfortunately our people live in poverty, they rely heavily on farming. Imagine how painful it continues to be for the Siddi people who wants to visit Africa just to see where their ancestors were stolen from, a very sad reality. I plan to start a PayPal campaign to raise money for some of them to visit Africa, so stay connected because I will need a lot of help to work on that, and any donations to this channel's PayPal account should have a note as follows 'Siddi Assistance to Africa'.

nonsense man .. dont tell them they are not African
They are proud of being African but do not prefer to be called African. I spent weeks with them in many different villages and those videos are on their way, thanks for liking the video, please share and bring friends to the channel
They are not African. Genetically they maybe still but culture, food and in everything they became Indian now. And also Genetic would change within some centuries. That's what science says. By those concept they are no more African. Because if you bring them to Africa they would find difficult to mix with other African people as they already left all African identities long ago.
😅@@RJinspire
Siddi people all are happy in india
They certainly are very happy, thanks for liking the video

Your narrative is demeaning and condescending about spitting and cleanliness. Be sensitive!
When I was at one bus stop in India, one passenger nearly spat at me from the bus window mate. I am not condescending or demeaning to the Indian people, I pray and hope they stop spitting everywhere
@@RJinspire Spitting is associates to lots of spices and taking long in between meals and water, it is not a preserve to India alone, Chinese and nomadic people too tend to it.
