Gujarat Siddis speak very little or no English compared to Karnataka Siddis. Karnataka Siddis treated me like a brother coming back home, I felt like I was part of the family, it was like I went visiting abroad for a few years then came back home to be welcomed by so many villages. Karnataka Siddis have many farms whereas Gujarat Siddis have very little farming and most are very poor. Siddi villages have no high school and their next high schools usually very far so very little English in most Muslim Siddi villages. I think the Gujarat Siddis are really the forgotten people. Perhaps being a Muslim Siddi makes life much harder than being Hindu Siddi or Christian Siddi. Gujarat Siddis really advocate their Afrianess and very proud to be of African origin. They call themselves African Indians and they call their villages 'Mini Africa' or 'Little Africa', wheres Karnataka Siddis prefer to be called Siddi or Indian and African Indian
Merci pour ce reportage mon Frère. Mais, ces gens sont les premiers peuples de l'INDE et ils sont là depuis des millénaires avant l'arrivée des Blancs. Le nom INDE veut dire NOIR OU MO INDO en langue africaine comme le LINGALA ou le KIKONGO. Attention à ne pas dire n'importe quoi dans les reportages sur les peuples NOIRS dans le monde. Les Noirs sont les premiers sur terre et c'est normal qu'on les retrouve partout sur terre avant même l'esclavage.
I really appreciate videos like this. !!!! Im African American and only found out about AfroIndians a few years ago. I literally cried, why does history hide us from each other? ❤❤
I know the feeling my dear sister because I felt like crying when I met them for the first time and I didnt know whether to shake their hands, bow or hug them and I ended up touching their hair which seems to upset some of our people on the internet. I was so overwhelmed and they welcomed me with love and respect.

You should learn about freed American slaves in Liberia. That is, "Americo-Liberians" and their relationships with native Liberians. They colonized the country in the 1800s. ...Now there's a story to cry about.

It is not only slavery that brought Siddis to India,black Africans of East Coast on Indian ocean were merchants and seafarers,they travelled the whole of Southeast Asia and Far East,some settled in places like India,Burma,Bangladesh,Oman etc!!!

@RJinspire they were seafarers. Some went there and beyond by themselves not taken there by Arabs. African people in the ancient times had kingdoms and travelled far and beyond. The kingdoms were deceived and destroyed by the invading Caucasians....slavery and colonisation followed...destruction of African civilisations. 😢😢

Yes I agree. They need a motivation and giving them the real experience of racial identity is a very good start. I wish the yourtubers who visit them and raise money for that execute the plan. A kenyan from nyabhoanse had visited them and had promised some of them to take them to Africa. He raised money for that and now lost in his primary vision of marrying a girl in every country and having a child from each of them. Please alert those RUclipsrs..
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.

East Indians don't speak to black people in America so I was always curious about India Africa relations. Thank you for highlighting such amazing Africans. Don't matter where we are in the world our kindness is taken for weakness.
I have learnt through my travels that Indian people born and raised out of India seem to be a bit racist towards Africans or dark skinned people, whereas it's a complete different story to Indians born and raised in India, racism doesn't seem to exist in India. So, I guess they learn racism from the West❤️
All African people are somehow relatable around the world, we might be called blacks etc but we are all from the motherland even though some of our ancestors were stolen and taken to the West, we are still one.. Thanks for watching the video, please share and bring friends to subscribe ❤️

Great you are dear Friend You are connecting all the Africans across the globe by your visits and discovery of their common roots. Have you heard of the Bonda tribe in Odisha an East Indian state. It is said the Bondas are related to the Turkana tribes of Kenya. I was amazed to learn of their African roots of 60,000 years old. Siddis are only 500 or less years old in India. Keep up maki g connections and championing their cause.
Wow, thanks for this important information. I would love to learn more about the Bonda tribe. I will keep making more connections with the people that history forgot, thank you❤️

So during Mughal times many Africans came to India and some were brought to India because they were good warriors. They became warriors, businessmen , merchants etc . We had an African family who were Muslims in our old buildings , when I was young the oldest granny who we called dadi which is granny in Hindi told me that her ancestors were brave warriors and good cooks . She told me exactly from where her ancestors come from but I don’t remember because I was very young like 5or 6 . She told me her ancestors worked as viziers, warriors, generals under various kings and how rich they were ones upon a time and stayed mainly in the costs of present day Karnataka and Maharashtra . They later moved out because their son got a good job somewhere and they left permanently. They had businesses as well.
We certainly are the original people of the world but the most hated. Thanks once again for liking the video, please share and bring friends to subscribe ❤️

You need a lot of improvement interacting with people in general. They may have their origins in Africa but that was over 500 years ago and they’ve developed their own culture(s), language, etc. you do not have to be subjective and shove African-ness into them (the whole current generation may never have been in Africa)… thanks for the effort otherwise. Peace ✌️ 🇿🇼
If you watch the video carefully you can hear them calling themselves 'I'm Africa' I do not shove Africaness in people just because they look black or are black. I do hold a Psychological degree from the University of Milton Keynes, UK

Bantu Siddhis came to the India in 628 CE landing at Bharuch port. Later with Arab e.g. Mohammed Bin Qasim in 712 onwards Africans also followed British and Portuguese to India. In Gujarat there is a tomb of a black holy man 'Bava Gor'.. Siddhi is Arab name 'Sayyad' perhaps?? There are estimated 1 million Siddhi mainly in Pakistan and some 250000 spread in Karnataka, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Gujarat in India.

Hongera sana kwa video hii,hawa ni ndugu zetu kabisa kutoka Bara letu la Afrika,maisha yao ni kama yetu ktk vijiji vyetu,kuishi kwa pamoja na kushirikiana kwa kila jambo,huyo dada anavyofua nguo kwenye jiwe ni staili ya maisha yetu kabisa,hadi machozi ya furaha yamenitoka kwani sikuwa nikijua kwamba ktk Nchi kubwa kama India inao Raia wake wenye asili ya Afrika kabisa.
@@oscarfilimbi3282Hawa wengi wao asili yao ni huku Afrika Mashariki na hasa Kenya.

I am from Jambur village in The Gambia 🇬🇲❤. I'm glad there's a village in India called Jambur village 😊
This is amazing 😍
I will visit Jambur village in the Gambia. Thanks once again for liking the video, please share and bring friends to subscribe ❤️
@@RJinspire waiting to welcome you in the Gambia
Yeah. You may like to look for your relatives there. The name was most likely carried by your people.
Good worthy effort that is helpful for bringing this forgotten saga of the history of Afro-Indians in the Indian subcontinent. Thank you 👍
Bro. Today many Siddi people are IT Engineers / Doctors / Government Servants and in many more professions.
Really having a GR8 time.
unfortunately very few of them hold such professions but they are getting there
@@RJinspire Because they are not interested in long studies and do not adventure into other technical professions. Nobody is stopping them into getting advanced
@@RJinspire that fake id girl is trying to trick you. She is a pappthee who is still devising policies to brutally opress these guys. She is part of peecheepees political wing to monitor web contents!!
@reganjoans which girl was that? Please email me using links below the description of my videos, thanks for the warning

We have a village called jamburr in The Gambia 🇬🇲 West Africa
I will be visiting the Gambia to explore Jambur then shar e my experience with the African Indians of Jambur, thanks for the tip. Thanks once again for liking the video, please share and bring friends to subscribe ❤️
It's possible that the Siddis originated from Jamburr in Gambia.
Im from Ghana 🇬🇭
I subscribed because of this. They look exactly African
Thank you 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. The Portuguese and later the British joined the slave trade years after the Arabs; this information is narrated in one of the videos. Thanks for liking the video, please share and bring friends to subscribe ❤️
Bcos they are Afrikan 🤷🏿♂️
It's interesting to know that there are African indians
I was as interested and fascinated as you are brother and I will certainly visit them again. This channel is a portal of finding the lost or forgotten people. The West stole Africans from West Africa and shipped them to the Americas and Europe. And at the same time they stole Eastern Africans and shipped them to Asia. thanks for liking the video, please share and bring friends to subscribe ❤️
This is amazing.I was in Gujarat region(Ahmedabad) some few years ago and never knew this, I wish I knew then I would have visited my fellow afrikans.
Well done brother for showing us this.
Much love from kenya 🇰🇪
Anther big thank you to my Kenyan people because Kenya is now number four on my RUclips analytics, my views geographic are as follows: US, UK, India, Kenya, Canada, Germany

My friend Indians are Africans, where are black peoples found
Those people start looking like indians@RJinspire
@SuadOsmanMohamed Muslim and Hindu Siddis are mixed, hence them looking a bit more Indian compared to their Christian counterparts.
@RJinspire I don't mean Indian as religion but as ethnicity
Thank you for posting this video. they are happy people in their community
They certainly are a very happy community
Don't touch their hair. It's very disrespectful. Women must be respected
Point taken, I will remember in the future not to touch people's hair, sorry British trait that I need to get rid of, thanks for highlighting that ❤️
@@RJinspire No we dont touch folks hair in the UK.. Its polite to ask
I believe he did ask for the most part but he's dealing with a language barrier
I can see the faces from the coast of east africa starting from mozambique then tanzania up to the northern coast of kenya near somalia....its so touching!

East Indians don't speak to black people in America so I was always curious about India Africa relations. Thank you for highlighting such amazing Africans. Don't matter where we are in the world our kindness is taken for weakness.
I have learnt through my travels that Indian people born and raised out of India seem to be a bit racist towards Africans or dark skinned people, whereas it's a complete different story to Indians born and raised in India, racism doesn't seem to exist in India. So, I guess they learn racism from the West❤️
Thanks for giving us these nicely conversions, l am very happy know much about it.
thank you for such a nice comment, please share and bring friends to the channel❤️
9:48 you can see the same stoneworks found in Zimbabwe
All African people are somehow relatable around the world, we might be called blacks etc but we are all from the motherland even though some of our ancestors were stolen and taken to the West, we are still one.. Thanks for watching the video, please share and bring friends to subscribe ❤️
Yes, I am from Zimbabwe, I noticed that stone wall, immediately thought of Great Zimbabwe monument, the biggest in our country, from which the country's name is derived. Zimbabwe means 'big house of stones'.
Amazing people, amazing village, thank you @playgirl7305 ❤️
Yes when isaw it ithought of Zim too
15:20: She is advising you to go ahead in the village where more folks are there; not many on this river bank.
my translator for the day wasn't the best but he did try, thanks for the info
@@RJinspireBest to collaborate with other local vlogers who can come along with you to help understand the culture and play translator. Where are you heading next?
It's good to know that there are Indians of African origin.It's good that they are living together peacefully with no discrimination or among racists.
You are so right, imagine living together without discrimination, i am very impressed with India and her people. I haven't experienced any racism or discrimination of any kind during my visits across India. thanks for liking the video, please share and bring friends to subscribe ❤️
@RJinspire they facing discrimination their living conditions are very poor
Hello pappan bramean devised caste system was brutal than racism or nazism. Now, do you know why they live on other side of the river? Also africans need to get educated on human abusive caste system. They are infact brutally opressed on all walk of life!!
@@SuadOsmanMohamed , You have no idea about India.
@@SuadOsmanMohamedUmm many Indian people in India live worse off,no home,food or even clothes to wear,so their skin colour has nothing to do with it.

Good work brother.Plan to visit Turkey there are Afro -Africans there too.
Your reaction was a bit dramatic don't you think? What exactly made you scared and want to run away?
Great you are dear Friend
You are connecting all the Africans across the globe by your visits and discovery of their common roots.
Have you heard of the Bonda tribe in Odisha an East Indian state. It is said the Bondas are related to the Turkana tribes of Kenya. I was amazed to learn of their African roots of 60,000 years old.
Siddis are only 500 or less years old in India.
Keep up maki g connections and championing their cause.
Wow, thanks for this important information. I would love to learn more about the Bonda tribe. I will keep making more connections with the people that history forgot, thank you❤️
Nice series on Afro-Indian. It’s ironic to watch as I am Indo-Caribbean!! Also a lesser known group to Indians like the Afro-Indians are to Africans!! 😊
We are everywhere brother, I never knew there were some of our ancestors taken from Africa and made slaves in Asia. I would love to visit your country and learn more about Indo-Caribbean, what's your country name? Thank you for liking the video, I hope you find the time to watch all my Siddi video series ❤️😂
Bro make a group or video ...share your thoughts, history and origins. Try to talk to your parents or grand parents try to get the info and share it with us. Come on its never too late.
@@RJinspireYou need to visit the caves in the East African coast to learn more about slavery in East Africa. The caves and other points were used as slave holding point before being shipped away.

Please note that swahili term for money is Pesa which sounded like "peisa" for you. Iam convinced they are my Bantu people from Kenya or Tanzania.
Their ancestors were taken from eastern Africa. I had no idea what peisa was until I read your comment, thanks for the info brother. Thank you for liking the video, I hope you find the time to watch all my Siddi video series ❤️😂
Pesa is an indian word
paisa means money in hindi....
Correct
Paisa is an indian hindi word...kenyans are highly influenced by our people be it cuisine or language
Thank my Bro, for sharing this to the rest of the world!
My pleasure!👌
Next time it is better to solicit a local to translate and connect you to the locals,get to know the dos and donts!
I was told that Bilal who was guiding me through the village spoke better English in the entire village and that wasn't true 😂
Wise advice.
How do you just touch people’s hair, take it easy.
Masha Allah....you are really very friendly .i like your all videos.love from Kuwait

As an Afrikan I love the fact that they appreciate and recognize that they are Afrikans. I will go visit them and welcome them back to Kenya 🇰🇪, Afrika.
It's quite amazing that Gujarat Siddis embrace and advocate their Africaness whereas it's different with the Karnataka Siddis, read my full pinned comment where I try to explain
They are mixed with indians
I think the same way
Here in Kenyan coast you will find the mijikenda meaning nine tribe and The Giriama among the 9tribe name their girls sidi and may there is a story behind that I personally feel connected to those African indians
World must take a look at our brothers and sisters in India, those people are so much marginalized
World doesn't care but we can bring attention to our people

So during Mughal times many Africans came to India and some were brought to India because they were good warriors. They became warriors, businessmen , merchants etc . We had an African family who were Muslims in our old buildings , when I was young the oldest granny who we called dadi which is granny in Hindi told me that her ancestors were brave warriors and good cooks . She told me exactly from where her ancestors come from but I don’t remember because I was very young like 5or 6 . She told me her ancestors worked as viziers, warriors, generals under various kings and how rich they were ones upon a time and stayed mainly in the costs of present day Karnataka and Maharashtra . They later moved out because their son got a good job somewhere and they left permanently. They had businesses as well.

Wow, so both The Gambia in West Africa and India have a village called Jambur. I have been leaving in Ahmedabad, Gujarat for 3 years but I never knew this place. I have to google it in order to confirm while watching this video. So amazing

They are amazing and they would love to visit Africa
I have really loved your documentaries....thanks for showing us our fello brothers and sisters.... We pray for good life over them....
And me personally I don't think there is any problem with touching on someone's hair.
In uganda my culture,, someone touching your hair means love and excitement he has for u.
Thank you Jmutungi, the Siddi people didn't have a problem with me touching their hair or shaking their hands, they even gave me a place to stay for the night. It's sad that some viewers take things too serious and very personal and there's no need for that ❤️
Seeing their villages, they live a far better life than our rural Africa and are in high spirits
They work harder to keep their villages clean and they are amazingly lovely people. thanks for liking the video, please share and bring friends to subscribe ❤️
maybe for ur country, have you been to other African countries villages?
I visited a few countries in Africa and this was before I started making videos for RUclips, I went to Seychelles, Mauritius, Madagascar, Botswana and Ghana
Meaning you have not traveled across Afrika
At the start of your video, you mentioned siddis are Africa, though to be precise they are from East African coastline, that would include Kenya, Tanzania and North Mozambique. Nice video.
They are from eastern Africa and yes their ancestors came from countries such as the ones you mentioned, thanks
This are like the luos around the lake Victoria. Washing clothes and dishes in the river at the same time swimming 😂
Wow, sounds like the Siddi ancestors passed their African traditions to their future children, I was amazed when I saw that. Thanks for watching the video, please share and bring friends to subscribe ❤️
11:18 She said zanzibar, some of them look like people i see in Tanzania, like the lady shopkeeper
When I met the first African Indian, I actually thought the person was a tourist just like me but no, the person wasn't a tourist but an original African India and proudly so.

You need a lot of improvement interacting with people in general. They may have their origins in Africa but that was over 500 years ago and they’ve developed their own culture(s), language, etc. you do not have to be subjective and shove African-ness into them (the whole current generation may never have been in Africa)… thanks for the effort otherwise. Peace ✌️ 🇿🇼
If you watch the video carefully you can hear them calling themselves 'I'm Africa'
I do not shove Africaness in people just because they look black or are black. I do hold a Psychological degree from the University of Milton Keynes, UK

Budha was a higher cast white north Indian

Bantu Siddhis came to the India in 628 CE landing at Bharuch port. Later with Arab e.g. Mohammed Bin Qasim in 712 onwards Africans also followed British and Portuguese to India. In Gujarat there is a tomb of a black holy man 'Bava Gor'.. Siddhi is Arab name 'Sayyad' perhaps?? There are estimated 1 million Siddhi mainly in Pakistan and some 250000 spread in Karnataka, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Gujarat in India.
Thanks my friend
