They certainly keep their villages very clean, a very close knit community. What amazed me the most is that the Siddi people have entire Christian villages and that's something we don't have in the West.

@KemchoCharlie I'm not sure this is absolutely correct . The West took majorly West Africans as slaves. And the word "stole" is probably not a proper word because they were sold by their fellow West Africans. Most Easy Africans taken as slaves were by the Arabs.
The world has many surprises and India has a lot of those surprises. I am still in awe that the world isn't aware of African Indians, thanks for liking the video and please bring friends to the channel

As an African, I find this both heart-warming and saddening. These are lost people, stolen from their homeland and dumped where they arent valued at all. Slavery and religion are the worst nightmare human has invented.

British colonial savage rule has done this, however majority of Siddis are leading a moderately good life here , Government provide them free food ration , almost free electricity and compulsory education and free land too 👍
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 ❤️
@@KemchoCharlie Also, some of the Eastern Africans like Ethiopians and Eritreans became kings and generals in India and Bangladesh after being slaves. Around 12 of those Eastern African men at different points in Indian history, one even fought and beat the Mughals, and also built his own thriving city.

Great video. I came to know about the Siddis 14 years ago. From my research, this people are certainly originally from Kenya.The Siddis are Bantus and they were captured from central parts of Kenya around Mt Kenya which is inhabited by Kikuyus and Embus who are Bantus. The slaves were sold by a renown local slave trader known as chief kivoi who operated around 1700 AD. Chief kivoi was a kamba by ethnicity and so he couldn't sell his own people. Which is the reason why he went for the neighbouring kikuyus and Embus. Chief Kivoi's caravan of slave traders would traverseto as far as current day Embu, Kirinyaga and Murang'a counties in central Kenya looking for slaves on sale. Looking at the Siddi's physical attributes, i can tell without a doubt that they look very much like the Kikuyus and Embus. If this people would get an ancestral DNA, they will most certainly come out as Kikuyu/Embu. I have subscribed to your channel. With love from magical Kenya.
Very interesting comment, I will try to persuade some of them to try DNA so they can locate their African tribes, thanks for this info. Feel free to email me using the links below the description of this video, thanks
@@KemchoCharlieAm African currently living in india will like to visit this villages sometime kindly give idea of places and how to locate the place also suggestion of possible aid items I can go along with
You must be a somali.I am from the mountain region of kenya and no slaverly took place in our region as the selling of human beings is very evil.second when europeans came to mt kenya they came to spread religion then colonisation followed.The indians came in the building of railway in short no slavery took place in Mt kenya region slavery took place in coastal regions were chinese and arabs indiana traded

Greetings from Jamaica, my brother. I appreciate your very informative video highlighting the black Siddi people of India. Just wish you had brought an interpreter with you so that we could get more out of your fascinating video. Other than that, please continue your great work and thanks again for sharing the video.
Hello my brothers and sisters in Jamaica! I did have a translator but unfortunately he didn't speak a mixture of Konkani, Kannada and Marathi languages. The Siddi people speak a mixture of three languages which means when visiting them one needs a translator who can also speak a mixture of those three languages, well, lesson learned.

Siddhi people's are not forgotten people's.. Africans and indians have more than 2000 years old friendship history... Yes most of the siddhi 's almost 80-90% are coming india as slaves by European and islamic invaders but outher siddhi's are satteled as merchant and warriors before invasion happened in india (before 1500 years ago, they are mostly following Hinduism).for example we have statue carving of "indian king sitting in 🐘Elephant and African king sitting in jiraffe and donig servey/roaming market in india just like two delegation/king " in konark temple of odisha. And this temple is more than 2000 years old.

@kemcho charlie Before you go to a place you could do some research. Please don't look at people as if you are in a zoo and it's unknown to you. Are you siddhi peopl3....yes they are you know they are so stop asking them are they African. Ho2 about asking about their education their food and their health.
You can come join me on my travels in India and i will be happy to introduce you to some of them. It is unfortunate that most Siddis are very poor but united. They rely heavily on farming and growing their own produce, a skill passed from their African enslaved ancestors. Imagine how painful it continues to be for the Siddi people who wants to visit Africa just to see where their ancestors were stolen from, a very sad reality. I plan to start a PayPal campaign to raise money for some of them to visit Africa, any donations to this channel's PayPal account should have a note as follows 'Siddi Assistance to Africa'.
