I am South African Indian. Living in Kwa Zulu Natal. But unfortunately we are completely forgotten. The economic boost mentioned from PM Modi is not felt by us. We have to work twice has hard for everything. The places built during Apartheid are now state owned, schools, universities and hospitals seldomly employee indians. The contribution made by Indian freedom fighters has been forgotten.

[@_LetsGo]

Thank you for sharing Sureekaa, and for watching.

[@hellonomasonto]

Completely forgotten by who, Sureeka? I’m asking as someone who also lives in KwaZulu Natal (Umhlanga).

[@StySiddhi]

What "economic boost announced by Modi" ? This pertains to India !
Shoudn't your Cyril focus more on developing his country rather than suing Israel in Int'l Courts ?
El Al, national airline of Israel, has stopped its Tel-Aviv - Jo'burg flights, the only ones between Israel and SA. Will boycott by Jews internationally bring prosperity to SA. SA's GDP rate of growth : 0.9% !😡

[@AnikaH1122]

​@@hellonomasontoThe powers that be. Some people are even denying that most of Indian heritage started off as indentured servants.

[@blackgold1980]

Maybe you should address why Indians only hire other Indians when they start their own businesses. Or why they routinely discriminate against native Africans in their own country. Africans owe Indians nothing and frankly given the way Indians feel about Africans in general they should be exposed for the racism that is deep rooted in their community.

[@dollymaharaj2257]

You omitted to mention a very important fact when talking about the religions of Indians in South Africa, that is Hinduism comprises 80 percent of the Indians.

[@_LetsGo]

Thank you Dolly, appreciate your input!

[@eunallmaharaj8583]

Yes...we are 80%...Hindus...in South Africa.

[@forward_ever_ever2595]

Wow..its amazing how Africa welcomes so many different ppls, even the ones that persecuted them. But somehow all these "other nations" do not welcome Africans to their lands, moreover in those numbers...a million plus?? I speechless

[@liengamier3290]

But the same time they hate black people in there own country

Africans are in India centuries before Indians were brough to Africa as 'coolies' by Britain. Africans known as 'SIDDI' are in India, come with Arabs around 700 CE These are Bantu peoples of Southeast Africa. Later few Africans came with the Portuguese and the British. At present tens of thousands' on Nigerians have entered India. Indian Punjabi were brought to East Africa by Britain in 1895 to build the railways Of the 32,000 or so workers from India 2,493 are reported to have died in East Africa and 6,454 were severely injured. The man eating lions of Tsavo alone killed 130 Indian. Today India is ahead of UK in several fields including the economy that is the 5th largest.

This is a good group of Indians that live in Africa along with the other Non Indian Hindu Khumbars. It is not correct to say that Indians that live in Africa where always part of India. As the Indian Languages are spoken so vastly in Africa. And so it has no correlation to India as Africa was a major trading place for the past 5000 years. And many Indians may of moved to Africa or the Africans would of evolved to Indian type looking. Meaning that as the Indian languages are not national languages the people are African and not Indian. As to qualify African Indians as Indian full status they must qualify for OCI card. Many people especially Hindus named themselves in Africa after trying to make there own star syncretic community with Indian Hindus that live in India. And therefore African Indians or people that moved from African during the 1929 to 1975 movement are not really traceable to the Indian Hindu Khumbar Prajapati Kingdom or Heritage. I am happy that they have found there place in society.

Again, Bad Journalism, I am born in SA and still don't know any Seeks in SA. You left out the Hindu's the Majority of the Indians in SA. How can u leave out the Tamil, Telegu, Hindi and Gujarati speaking Hindu's in SA. Shame u spoke about the minority of Islam ppl, but not the Hindu Majority. The Hindu's whom are mainly in Durban shaped out future in SA. And you left out Christian Indians, Get your Facts Right

Most RACIST group towards indigenous Africans.

[@user-oq9iz6wq3p]

Really? Are you serious or just saying that because you don’t have anything positive to talk about.

[@jaiku99]

Prejudice and racism are two different things altogether. That is not to say that all have prejudice

[@blackgold1980]

Alot of people don't want to hear it but it's the truth. Their patron saint Mohatma Ghandi was a disgusting anti black racist and many of his fellow Indians believe what he did. How dare Indians talk about the racism they face while their community has routinely discriminated against black people in their own countries for years and they say nothing about it.
