Citizen TV traces an African tribe in India. Tom Mboya travelled to India and now brings you the story of these people, some of whom could be from Kenya.
I am an African. Brought up and raised in Kenya. I agree that these beautiful people look like Africans, but why make them think that they would be better off in Kenya? There is so much poverty in Africa, so what's the difference between where they are now, and our Africa? let's love everyone in the world. God created us all. where we come from doesn't matter.
1. This shoot was done in delhi and not in Hyderabad . 2. Siddi's are very much a part of Hyderabad. They were brought to Hyderabad as cavalry officers in the Erstwhile Hyderabad State Army ( Nizam State). 3. There is a place in Hyderabad called A C Guards ( African Cavalry Guards) exclusively developed for Siddi's by the Nizam State . 4. Siddi's have always been part of the Elite society in the Hyderabad State as their community was known for courage and skills
Right because most of the cars shown have DL or delhi number plate. If it was in Hyderabad, the number plate would've read AP or Andhrapradesh which has Hyderabad in it
@@motomoya8463 that was a sensible comment yes India is over populated that's the root cause of problems here by the search for siddis of Jambur village Gujarat I am from that part of India They are happy go lucky Robust people of African origin
@@zenashabani9783 Why are you generalizing an entire group of people. Not all Indians are like that or share in that viewpoint. It's so unnecessary to point fingers at this person because I an sure they were trying to post a kind comment
@@zenashabani9783 They are living just like millions of Indians living in their villages and are poor(I lived like this when I was young), These Siddis are happy in their own setting, you think like a victim.
Colour is only skin deep, beauty is in the eye, heart And in thoughts. People are bad but there are good people as well. If whiteness is someone's beauty, then blackness is also someone's beauty. Love all, serve all.
Here, Siddhis are in good cond ition.They mainly depend upon cultivati on. Here some few towns are there, ruled by themselves onl y. Finall y they are living gracefully.
I was born in Tanzania and l like your videos this brings great pleasure to see these people after all we are part of them African Indian we are proud of you
They are very much Indian. What if they migrated from Kenya? This is evolution of mankind. Our Millions Indian are in Africa and all over world. After few generation, they hardly know about India. This is nature.
@@MubarakBG211 , It is very true. When I saw them I got confused. Because, they were speaking Hindi or Gujarati the local language. But their resembles were of African. Then, I could understand, the India is so huge country, so many cultures, so many ethinicities he has.
@@user-dz5ps8kb6k yeah India has so many ethnic groups but sadly the black Indians are so poor,mistreated and they are hidden and no one knows them in India.
@@user-dz5ps8kb6k Indians are known to be extremely Racist. I wonder how the blacks there survive. The African Union and EAC should look into repatriating it's people back home.
No its not like they are kept secret or something lol, why would anyone keep them secret! Its just that we are too much diverse, so its not possible for everyone to know about everyone. For example, I bet very very less people from my country know about the khamti, lalung, karbi, deori etc communities from my place and its perfectly normal. I hope you understand, we are just too different than anyone can imagine😊
@Don Riller because what we call a muncipal corporation is called a country in Africa .With 1300 million population 350 plus dialects even we don't have complete knowledge about all people of India.
No they weren't slaves.They were pirates. Read the History of Sea fort "Janjira" on the western coast of India, that was an African Country in itself for 700 years of siddhis. You want to know the atrocities made by siddhis on Konakanis of Maharashtra, read history of Janjira. They used to cut our noses and sell us to Arabs. There were good Siddhis also. Some of them faught for My king Shivaji against Moghals. Famous maratha anthem "vedat marathe veer daudale sath" meaning 7 brave soldiers sacrify their life, one of them was siddhi. Update: Siddi Africans in India are either from Ethiopia or Somalia. As in Maharashtra, we either call them Habashi (Habasana-Abbasania) or Shamal (Somalia).
That's is very true...I support if they are discriminated then let the east Africa community remember batter trade...all India to be taken back to there forefathers land...and all saddis to be give India land in East Africa..
India is the perfect example of meeting of civilizations. While most north Indians are of Aryan origin, down south most people are of Dravidian origin which traces back to African origin. Hence, you will find every kind of people in India and that is a big treasure for us.
***** one of the human origin theory is the African origin theory another is the multiple origin theory... So according to former its true but according to later... Races have different origin. .. It cannot be conclusive
Just read the comments here, Indiana don’t play around. Apparently despite their afro-centric looks, most Indians regard them as Indians. In Kenyan, we wouldn’t think twice to call a Kenyan of Indian descent Indian. So many lessons taken on inclusivity. Love you Indians. ❤️❤️❤️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿🏅
they are african by their ancestry but indians by heart. so are the persians, israelis, afghans, ahmediya muslims and chinese tribes of nagaland, arunachal pradesh, sikkim, manipur and other states of india near china since they have been living in india for centuries. india has the culture of accepting people from different race, countries and background. india has the highest amount of intercultural marraiges in asia. India can never be termed as intolerant.
@Kamar G u shitty moron Ur gk seems to be poor like ur Africa.India have never used any balckie for medals in Olympics .The medals have won by Indian people not these pirates who illegally came to India centuries back
Imagine Indians flied thier country to Africa and they don't have an idea of going back to the Land of Ghandi, but these African/ kenyans are still in india without any valuable or properties😰.
These people are without any valuables because they didn't absorb the realities of free market and better themselves to achieve prosperity... Whereas Indians everywhere in the worid are more successful than the native population of that country... Just because of the difference in the culture and insistence on education and business.
It's not right ✔ In my state Gujrat india District :-Junagadh Sub district: -talala gir 10 to 15 villages have siddi majority people they have own land given by junagad state king..they are our people not yours 🇮🇳
Real Africans adapted so well in India. What a beauty watching women wearing sarongs and sarees dancing happily along that Indian music. I just hope they meet up with their African descent living in isolation and seclusion from modern and civilized world to protect them from extinction. The Indian government is preserving this ethnic community for ages and protecting them from anyone trying to invade or disrupt their living lifestyle. Its amazing how human evolves over time. After 500 years from today you'll see Indians from India visiting US on a mission to track down how their ancestors are found all over the US.
This seems to be a doctored VIdeo - nothing looks like Hyderabad in his first few minutes of the Video and the Vehicle's name plates indicate its in Delhi esp 1:11 when he says busy street in Hyderabad when in actual its in Delhi
denis jolwa.tuko pamoja kweli ndugu zetu watu weusi wamesambwaza sana katika pembe 4 zote za dunia.toka enzi za zamani mbali sana.lakini nahamini siku moja.tutacheza ngoma kubwa sana.sababu ni watu wa chaguo la mungu.
No! South Indians have different facial features. Also, almost all of the people, in Kerala and Hyderabad have fair skin. South Indians are like 50% fair 50% dark-skinned.
what a shame .. all African countries should help these people leave that hell hole and come back too there people in Africa... I can only imagine what hell there lives must be
SMARTY INDIAN . I love that i wish every one on earth could view things that way. I think we deserve respect for each other as humans not by our origins. We have Indians in Africa ( uganda)who don't know anything in India but our difference is that they stay with us every where not separated from the rest. to prove me right send me yours watsap I will send to you a link.
They are the original people of the planet.before their was a place call India.they were always black before indians mixed the caucus white invasion just like the Arab or Persian.they all mistreat the blacks just like the whites all over the planet do.
@@edwardlovette8924 I agree I also think they are the original inhibitors of that place too Wow we carbonated melanin(blacks)we are the 1st race and forever
Just watched a bbc show called Indian Ocean with Simon Reeves and the Sddi people were featured. I never in my life knew about these people until today. India certainly did keep this well hidden. What a fascinating story, rather than being hidden this fact should be celebrated, who knew Africa had such ancient links with India that go so far back in history.
They are not forgotten at all... they are doing better than many many African countries...moreover this is a very old video but still you can see many children going to school and not roaming on roads and struggling with basic requirements like water and medicines unlike most of countries back in Africa...and to add in your information... the Indian government runs a special programme dedicated to the upliftment of Sidhi community of India where they are being given access to train for sports and also acquire good educational opportunities . It's not correct to say that Indians have forgotten Sidhi people as they are more Indian than Africans....and their plight is same as most of Indians living in rural areas without any discrimination.
IN AFRICA INDIAN DESCENDANTS ARE ACCEPTED, LIVE COMFORTABLY AND TREATED WELL WHILE IN INDIA AFRICAN DESCENDANTS ARE REJECTED, PREJUDICED AND TREATED POORLY. IT'S TIME AFRICA STEP UP THEIR GAME AND DO TO THEM WHAT THEY DO TO US.
@@janewambui9737 not really I was just wondering coz I watched this show back in 2011 and i found it on utube today and I was surprised people are still active commenting on it.
I'm so sorry for what had happened in India, being an Indian myself, almost all Indians are tolerant to any people from around the globe, it was unfortunate that the boy was attacked by mob in Punjab with hockey sticks, the news was reported in national television and people of India did condemn it, it was later found out that the boy was attacked by his college mates due to some misunderstandings.
They should be treated as Indians with the same respect as Indian Indians ,they're more Indians than any east Indian .why the world never heard about them..they seems so loving happy and content it breaks heart to see them lives in the forest. I do hope that the Indian government give them their rites with education and living environment..
Fazeela Weylagro despite I am not an Indian but I like the way you express your idea. You look well educated and caring human values, thanks you for your sweet heart.
More Indians than East Indians? Laughable. East Indians made India not these Africans brought few hundred years ago. And why the world never heard of them? Because nobody in India would give a f*ck about few thousand strong community among billions.
@@bibiweylargo india is a democratic country and all citizens of india have equal rights. This video is 11 years old. We are developing day by day now our govt gave free education , electricity, road etc . We respect them 🙏
Those who've read human history well knows almost every other country has their dark skinned citizens as the indigenous first citizens even in Philippines,
I can't believed that some retards are believing on Afrocentric theory. That fair skin Filipino are people mix people. How it is non-racist for you sir (Your sinocentrism, Afrocentrism, and libtardness showed).
@@aryansupremacy5439 no you're not immigrants, Kindly study your own history..I speak out of research knowledge not media influence, Lastly grow up to a pony you can air your point without insults am not gay but married to a filipina whom I respect,
@@aryansupremacy5439 aetas, who live in the rural provinces & mountains how long have they been there do you know your history well,where did they come from??
Did all people of black ethnicity originate from Africa? look at inhabitants of Papua new Guinea and the islands of the Pacific did they all come from Africa?I doubt.
