Siddis(Hubli),Yellapur.... ,Karnataka

The majority of the Siddhis in Karnataka are descended from Bantu peoples from Southeast Africa that were brought to the Indian subcontinent as slaves by the Portuguese between the 16th and 19th centuries.During the Goan Inquisition, some of these slaves were freed and some escaped into the forests of the neighbouring Karnataka state some of them also were imported by the Nawabs in the 15th-16th centuries as military mercenaries
On January 8, 2003, the Union government brought the Siddis under the list of Scheduled Tribes with a view to empowering them constitutionally
