There's something African so deep that no matter how far apart melinated African people are from Africa, they still possess it. I believed it's the essence of life itself, because without it, many of these African people would have been wiped out due to the severe oppression that they face in the hands of people who hated their very existence. Look at the Africans in Brazil, in the US, in Columbia, Mexico, and now in India. Only life itself can give us the answer to this mystery.
Wow this is so true. I hope we can one day have these Africans back to Africa to visit. We need to do a grand welcome for Siddis to East Africa. Long Live Peter Tosh
No matter how much those of a lower frequency attempt to both psychologically and physically oppress us, we remain a spiritually and proud people, of our African culture. For it is the tool of our liberation. Strength and power to our family in India.
There is no psychological or physical oppression of these communities in india brother , the constitution provides for all. The poor class is race indiscriminate
I like the fact that they manage to stay away from drug and alcohol 🙏🙏🙏🇬🇭 Marginalize people or society are normally drunken and luck of ambition. But community is strong💪💪💪and ambitious👌👍🙏💥 It's can only get better🙏🙏🙏🇬🇭🇬🇭 Jah Guyide🙏🙏🙏
This is how we grew up in some rural parts of the Caribbean back in the 60's...a very peaceful and content people living simple lives with lovely smiling children. (In the Caribbean we have fertile soil, lots of land, rivers and sun) When our people travel to western countries, circumstances and lack of equal opportunities push them into crime.
Juju Man Alcohol is not allowed in Islam, and these people are muslims. As the elder man was saying , the key to prosperity is education. I hope that the younger generation is not discriminated against in that respect. Wish these wonderful people all the best❤️
In Step With Life Most of them aren’t fluent in Hindi as most of them live in states like Gujarat,Karnataka,Goa etc where Hindi is usually the 2nd or 3rd language.Siddis are quite prominent in Sports tho.
So glad I found your videos. I worked in an american IT company. Many of my Indian co-workers woudl always suggest that I not visit this this area (I am African-American). I hope to visit one day.
Good. They seemed like decent people to me. I worry they may change as they start to mix and face the more direct realities of racism and turn ugly. I'm seeing some very lovely spirits from those videos. Their smiles are genuine and emanating from a very good place. I love my people
@@fitawrarifitness6842 his coworkers are definitely accomplices in the neglect of this wonderful people. Most Indians are uncomfortable about the caste system and it's attendant rich-poor dichotomy.
Let me tell you that Kenya has a very big connection with India. Before and after Independence Kenya didn't have enough High schools to cater for African high school students. So I think it was Nerhu or someone in Indian govt created a special scholarship for African students to come and study in India. They would arrive in India and be assigned a host a family that would look after them till the finished high school. These were the super talented Kenyans. Many left India and received scholarships to India. These group is old now they are in the late 70s or early 80s. One of the remarkable book I read is called A Child of Two Worlds by Mugo Gatheru. He was beneficiary of this scholarship and another one by African Americans. He later earned a PHD in US and became a professor of history in US where he lived till his death several years ago. There has also been a lot of other students who later came in the 80s and 90s for university and college education. Most are still alive in Kenya. My brother was a student there in Gujarat unfortunately he was murdered in his final year. It is my hope that this story will inspire us in kenya to do something for the Siddi community and reestablish connections.
They deserves to be taught English language .. Also.. How are they not playing cricket..with their addition to India cricket team ..India will be a very forceful team
I always wondered whether there were any African descendants settling in indian . Got ample of evidence from this channel.thanks for all these videos. Love from nepal 🇳🇵.
Derreck Jones They are black people from Africa born in India, their culture is handed down, like everyone else’s. As long as your black your an African, no matter where your born, we are all descended from Africa. Some people are just diluted from black black to whitey pinky white, or Whit like Albinos, We are Humans. We are Africa.
@@tristabenton9266 Don't spread hate for no fucking reason. Job's will not guarantee ur happiness. They have small businesses and they are happy with that. And no one is stopping them to get jobs and education. They have their own small world and they don't want to step a foot outside that comfort zone. And they are still happy with whatever they have.
Igor Kovács Lol. Thats Dhol, an Indian drum and is commonly played in Western India. India has thousands of different music, son. Not just the punjabi bhangra that is popular in West.
Tyler Davidson African drums, we all started in Africa, the drums are used all over the world it was their internet or phone a way of communicating with the people in town villages, wherever ancient Africans went the culture goes with them.
They look like my Congolese brothers, sisters, cousins, nephews, nieces, uncles, aunts, gd pas and gd mas too. You know what they're my blood. I love you siddi people.
It is very amazing to learn about these East African descendants. Majority of east Africa Ethiopia,Eritrea, Sudan,Somalia and Djibouti used to Ardel Habesha "the land of habesha" . I also learnt that there are east African descendants in Afganistan and Pakistan as well. Thank you for sharing brother.
@@visualpoet1 definitely brother and the fact that they still speak some Swahili clearly shows they are descendants of the East African coastal and inland Bantu people like from Kenya , Tanzania,malawi ,and the shangaans of Mozambique/South Africa Thanks for the enlightening video I'll definitely share big up! !!!One Africa
Sin, removed people from their homes, take them to another place, country and left them there, to struggle, to punish and to be treated like dirt, is terribly, terribly wrong. Now in these times when every child is entitled to an education, yet there are children being deprived because another human like us believes he or she is greater. God forbid.
We all should send money to them especially if it's the American dollar 1 dollar could probably feed a whole village I wish I could find away to send them some money ...
It is a good thing that you are documenting these people and their history. Currently, people are traveling and settling in every corner of the earth that is safe. It looks like some of them have intermarriage with the local Indians. They don't know what part of Africa they are from but they are from Africa and that is okay, as long as they are doing well. Africans traveled and were also taken to many parts of the world. Some went extinct and some survived. Great! This world belongs to all of us.
@@visualpoet1 I am aware that it came from their fore fathers, but you know how some black people don't value who they are because of our brain washing. For example African Americans don't use the drums anymore. So I'm proud that these people were able to hold on to that culture. I worry though, that as they start to mix with Indian culture they might lose respect for what is indeed a pure African thing. I love my people though, where ever they are. They are good people and only turn to crime when circumstances force them to.
@@eiffeltower7503 Two different treatments. Blacks in America had the worst treatment that any human being can ever had, they were stripped of everything, names, knowledge, culture & religion, and the effect of the trauma still prevalent today.
@@eiffeltower7503 black americans are the only blacks in the world that lost a loy of the african culture. You see african dances with drums in the carabean, south america and all the country where u find blacks.
The drum!preservation of culture and artifacts very important but Europeans said we can't take care of Our artifacts that's why Afro Artifacts are kept in European museums.
I think many could be Scientists, Professors, Mathematicians, Nobel prize winners, if they had a real education, as in the most Countries of the world. Money, and institutionalised racism holds many black and brown people back.
I find this video very interesting being an African American so im told. What im now understanding I dont truly no whats my cultural heritage comes from. Living in America from my perspective many lies been told of my background and I feel no connection . I'm in the process of finding were I come from if we all originate from Africa but what part? I hope I find that answer soon.
The colonial slaves taken to America, were forbidden to speak their own African dialects, with pain of death. Though in Jamaica the Rebellious blacks took off to the hills and kept their African dialect still spoken today in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, they brought the slave traders to their knees, making the, flee the island eventually, it’s a fact that most slaves stolen or bought were from West Africa, from Gambia, Gold Coast, Niger, Delta , Congo, most Nigeria’s and Ghana’s internal villages and towns. There are many books or documentaries, Most of us Africans have one looks which can be seen in Africans of America and the Caribbean, relate to certain tribes of Africa, if you research you could find some history belonging to your ancestors. Like where the majority of slaves ships came to US rom where in Africa, should be written in some form of US history, if not hidden or destroys.Good luck on your voyage, cousin.
Not siddi they are shedi ask from your elders. I will send you a video my sheddi friend Aslam Sheedi Razak shedi Latif Shedi Ghani shedi Moroo shedi Aziz shedi thousands of shedi here lives in each and every city of Sind. In my town TJM there lived more than 2000 shedi. It is only 200 km north west of gujrat border. But only 100 km away from border lots of shedi lived in other part of border. From TJM sind.
One funny thing that i noticed when ever this guy click pics if the kid is completely african he clicks the pic in colour, where as if the kid is a bit brown he will click it in black and white, like that it is not noticed. You should chek his video on siddi school in karnataka
Somebody should tell them that singing and dancing is not allowed in sunni islam, neither are women allowed to show thier arms. I think they are awesome though, I'm not sure Islam is the best religion for them to preserve their culture
@@recinese unfortunately no it doesn't. In Sunni Islam there is no compromise it is the most strict practice!! Islam is Islam and there are some people who conveniently forget parts of it but Islam does not change and will always be a threat as there will always be fundamentalists!
