Yes, Dan Silva, of Düsseldorf, a city on the River Rhine, in Germany. However, I have no time for the video.
Dr. Runoko Rashidi has documented so many people of African descent around the globe. Research his work and continue with the torch.
Thank you so much for this video! I am of Sri Lankan heritage and recently got a DNA analysis done and found out I have 0.4% Sudanese ancestry. Couldn’t find any detailed historical info on any Sudanese migration to SL however your video showing that trade occurred between neighbouring Ethiopia and SL a long time ago does help shed light!
Ah that's interesting! I just made a comment about how Dravidians originated from Sudan!! :)
@@dganesh3641 thanks for sharing that, going to look into that! Very interesting!!
sri lankan people are mixed with many races
I am sri lankan and i now live in america and people consider me “african american”. I was one of the darkest students in my school and i went to a predominantly black america / Jamaican school.
I’m from Ceylon , proud of my heritage, thank you for the exposure ❤️, it was much needed a lot of our history is much missing.
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
Wow, I'm so enlightened by this video. Now I'm about to dive into much needed research about your people. Do you have knowledge or anything you care to share?
So much colourism in Desi communities here in the UK. As a young black guy who loves dating Desi women, it’s great watching this video .
“Ceylon”. It’s Sri Lanka stop using colonizers name
@@tudormiller8898 Sri Lankans are not colourist or racist
How intresting.Welcome to the African Diasporeas family. Thanks to Social Media it is now possible for us to hear aboút the survivors of our long lost African people across the globe. Now more than ever we must reach out to Africa to construct a Head Quarters. This will enable those who wish to return and visit or reconnect can do so at various intervals. This is why it's vital that Africa remain firmly in our hands under our rule. Blessings to you all.
Wow never knew there was African in Sri Lanka
Yes indeed! 🇱🇰
i have that african strong blood
@@FreedomIsMineOfficial there is also white. My dad is white you can’t tell he is Sri Lankan his family moved to Sri Lanka 170 years ago from Irish.
Have you seen sriloonkans they are pitch black ⚫️
Well, you can learn something new every day. I wasn't aware of this history.
I give you my utmost love and deepest respect for posting this video. This is soooooo AMAZIINGGGG!!!!!!! It is also one of the reason's why I practice Capoeira.. Thank you again for this amazing post... We need beautiful souls like you to enlighten our history and let the world know who, where, when and how it all started.....
Thank you so much, you've made me smile! 🥰

Excellent, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for watching and for your lovely comment.
I am a mixed race girl with mix black american roman catholic,buger father and sinhala, biddhism mom. Sometimes i face various kond of struggles for been a mixed race. Some people saying to me they can see me kind of mix cross...they meant just like am a dog...😑😞😢

Thank you for this! Roots are deep
Afro Sri Lankans have such a beautiful and unique culture
Black Lives matter from 🇮🇳
My cousin looks sooo much like an Arican guy. He has an afro, his nose looks African and he's very very tall and his parents are Sinhalese. We don't know much about our ancestry but we think he/we might have had African ancestors in our lineage
May be
This is great, thank you for the information.
Great video , Greetings from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰. If u need more and informations let me knw , now that community mixed with other cultures , As u said Trincomally and Batticaloa also still afro community remains? As I knw these afro people lives in Puttalam area ( Sirambiadi) Sri Lanka , Batticaloa and Trinco there are people descendants from Portuguese. Recently I talk with them few hours too , your video is great but it would be better if u could mention their music styles and life style too , Thx and Gd luck , Greetings from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
You are very informed!! ❤
Greetings from Ethiopia!wonder which part of Ethiopia they were taken?
Woww love this remember when I used to go there I would see people that look black and I got confused now this explains this
My grandma is Sri Lankan and is really into family heritage. She thinks that her grandfather was of African decent, because of his nose and fuzzy hair, but I’m not sure because Sri Lankan’s can look really similar to africans.
Most Sri Lankan’s don’t look very similar to Africans lmao, maybe if you’re talking abt North Africans who may have Persian and Arabic mixture, but most do not look like Africans, and if some do they’re probably of partial African descent
But anyways that’s really cool! Yeah my dad says one of his old servant ladies had very African like features like fuzzy hair and big lips and eyes, but some Sri Lankan’s also look Austroloid (indigenous) because they may still posses genes of indigenous tribes (original inhabitants before invaders from north India). Austroloid s belong to the same group as the aboriginals of Australia, and while not African, both groups have similar features. Most people who may look a little Austroloid are from Anuradhapura and other rural places of the dry zone in Sri Lanka.
@@Therealtuxedo well that's debatable...
@@Therealtuxedo no such thing as “Austroloid”
@@kaydod3190 Throughout evolution humans have evolved into 4 groups, Caucasoid, Mongoloids, Austroloids, and Negroids. I agree the classification is a little outdated, but there is some truth behind the classifications. Each group has specific Bone and facial structure.
Im tamil and my family Batticallo and my family is so different from others cause were tall but have big lips and also have curly hair. Maybe i might have kaffir ethnicity
Thank you for this video 🙂!
I black srilanka
If African Americans want to travel to Sri Lanka, where should they visit to see these beautiful people?
I hope they can get the samr rights as everyone else in sri lanka :( !!!
How do you know if they don't have the same rights? I don't recall this video saying anything about them not having the same rights? It just talked about their origins and how there aren't many of them alive right now
They have the same rights as everyone else
Wow. This was awesome.
Very interesting video.
Thank you!
Those earrings!!!! Glad you are still rocking them.
1:20 and France .
Hi Fira 👋 i am from sri lanka
Your so sweet
Hi there, lovely to meet you!
Even the Ceylon Tamils got a black complexion from Africans or the aboriginals
Interesting. My parents are Ceylon Tamil and I did not know anything about this! 🙂.
Thank you for sharing!
Same my parents are Tamil as well.
@@FreedomIsMineOfficial You are welcome! ☺
@@sgusjsk Cool! 🙂
Tell us a little more about yourselves. What work do you do? Other than your country of residence which other nations are your people in contact with? What is your first language?
🇱🇰 5. It is Lord Vishnu's responsibility to protect the Sinhalese nation and Buddhism.2. This fact unknown to India is written in Sinhala ancient books. 3. Records are so old that the first Sinhalese king of Ceylon was also protected by Lord Vishnu. 4. Lord Vishnu's duty in the future is to prevent the Tamil nation from clashing with the Sinhalese nation and to convert India to Buddhism. In the future, it could be an influence to create an India where Buddhism and Hinduism are practiced together 5. The Prime Minister of India doing a great job of popularizing BuddhismIt is the responsibility of the Hindu people to protect Dharma.
Please can you tell the answer how many African slaves were brought 1600 AD by portuguese traders?
What?
I'm in srilanka and never heard about that!!
Wow amazing! I hope the video was informative 😊
Same
Of no real relevance. Brought to my notice by Dan Silva, a man originally of pure Sri Lankan nationality, but now operating from Düsseldorf, a city on the River Rhine, in Germany. He has every right to live there as a guy who has now acquired German citizenship.

Not sure where you got the figure of 300 from, as officially the figure is 1000. There is even an area in Colombo to this day known as Slave Island. Though no longer an island, this was where slaves were returned each evening.
From the journalist Luke Duggleby who spent time living with and researching Afro Sri Lankan communities as well as Afrodescendant communities in Pakistan and India. His website is called the Sidi Project, and I contacted him via there for information and images.
AMAZING LOVELY 🌟 BEAUTIFUL ❤️🖤💚🤎 FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜
🇱🇰 is 🌍 originally #CushiticEmpire
Omg!!! These people are everywhere!!!
sriilanakans are Asia's Afrikkans
It was sad and horrible to get rid of ur African heritage. This is Terrible!
Kaffir is a offensive term in my country
Black kingdom in sud indien.
*Sinhalese kings
Ur king was a bangali bitch
he original people that inhabited North Africa, original Hebrews and their Egyptian neighbors( Don't forget the Pharoahs), southern Europe, parts of Middle East and the Moors who ruled Europe for 700 years were black people.
They were the first voyagers of discovery. They travelled around the world. Christopher Columbus found them in the Americas. Wherever they went, they also built pyramids. Most of the voyagers got stuck because they lost the technology to get back. Using the theory that the earth was one land mass doesn't carry water. Guess this is because people think it was impossible for blacks to have the technology to sail. Stereotypes. Though scattered and thousands of miles apart, the tradition and culture remains similar.
Question is...at what point did the Arabs hijack the Egyptian treasures and Europeans hijack the Bible characters and voyages of discovery? And at what stage did the black group got weakened and slavery start?
Consider me a day one supporter IG sunpeopleproductions
Thank you! Much appreciated!
Please stop calling yourself black and African, your more than a crayon color you have a nationality
