Uganda's President Admits: Expelling Indians in 1972 was a "Mistake" | Vantage with Palki Sharma

[@ashutoshmiskin8381]

I've met many Indians who moved from Uganda to the UK and USA and thank Idi Amin because the indians moved and did better than they would have ever done in Uganda...

[@TemplarX2]

Probably false. The West is in massive decline. These Indians were business owners in Uganda. By now they would have been wealthy owners of big businesses in Uganda instead of petrostation owners in the US. Uganda is looking actually good right now. land and housing are cheap unlike the West.

​@@TemplarX2No we xont want them. Today ask any Ugandan. Idi amin stood for the black man and didnt take any racisim and mistreatment of a black person lightly. So indians with heor superiority complex over blacks had to leave. And today we own our country and its not an apathide city like it used to be with the cities having only indians and no black given permits to do any business in the city. Although m7 the Rwandses brought them back and he steals ugandas money and reaources through them and all ends up to build his home country rwanda.

You are absolutely correct. These Indian where the movers and stakeholders of Uganda for more than 60 years in some cases. I don't know Ugandan of Indian origin who was happy running motels along interstate in southern United States, compared to the live they had in Uganda. I hope the president of Uganda issue a formal apology to the all those affected by that gross injustice and rectitude their properties and money with interest. That will go long way in the reconciliation between Ugandan of Indian origin and their country of birth.

Correction! My family who left before Idi Amin expelled the Asians never waned to go back.

They lost trust and most of us who settled in the west are very prosperous. Palki when you said there are 35,000 Indians in Uganda, most of them are first generation Indians who went from India. When we visited Uganda we saw Indians who came directly from India and not the former Ugandan Indians. Once bitten twice shy. Only a handful of former Ugandan Indians went back to do business in Uganda. Majority refused. President Museveni and I personally met in USA and he extended invitation to our family to come back but we politely turned it down.

Amin did not deport anyone. Firstly, he told Britain take all its citizens with them. All persons holding British citizenship was asked to leave. Britain did not want the Indians because The UK racist government decided that there were too many Indians already in the UK. Britain then asked India to take them and India refused stating that they were not Indian citizens. Amin was used as the fall guy to cover up The UK 's colonial racist policies aganist native Ugandans. All Indians asked to leave were holders of UK citizenship. How can you receive independence from from one guy and then your economy is in the hands of foreigners.The British used the Indians, their Neocolonial puppets of Tanzania, and the fact that Amin had sided with the Muslims, to discredit him and remove him from office. Then the British and their cohorts began the recolonization of Uganda The British have released all the files now . Go and check it out. Same thing happened to Muammar Gaddafy, Saddam Hussein , Bashur Assad, Zia Al Huq etc. Why was it a problem for the Indians to return to their own country? Why did they have to remain where they were not wanted when they themselves despised the native Africans. Indians come from a racist society and thats they only way the live among other people. So they need to be in India. Amin was right. Just like Trump, and everyone else who ask people who are displacing the rights of the indiginous people to leave. Arabs ask people to leave their countries every day . India did the same to the people of Bangladsh also. The Indians should have returned to India or follow the British to the U K.

What do you expect?? Chaps were given shops, factories, etc. When the Indians left UG, the best was to loot the shops .

Mynamar is doing it right now to some other refugees. And Trump did it and will be doing it very soon.All those fake movies and lies were made to hide the real story of who the real devils were and the games they played with the Ugandans and the Indians.

Amin held a meeting with all the concerned heads of states: the British, US, French, Indians Pakistanis and others , where he informed them that he was going to ask The UK to take all its citizens out of the newly Independent Uganda. After all if you are independent you need time and space to mold your citizens and plan for the future.

Prove me wrong. Now answer these questions: Would Indians or whites allow black people or black Africans to behave in their home countries the way they have and often still do in Africa.

@@scottallen6227 Genetics are irrelevant. All humans are genetically diverse. This is true even among those groups which are constantly bragging about their alleged racial superiority.

Chinese do not have an inferiority complex as many people in other parts of the world do. They don't think that "the white man's ice is colder" or that they cannot compete with, or even out compete others whether it comes to sport and art or technology. Places like China and Japan have national development goals which go back for many generations. They have learned from outsiders and adapted useful things to their cultures without becoming permanent serfs to clannish minorities in their own lands as many Africans have. The white west is the big defender of white and Asian minorities in Africa no matter how badly they have mistreated the black majority. It does so while opposing land reform and justice for the black majority at every turn. It has even forced blacks to pay their white and Asian oppressors for land which was stolen from the black people...Meanwhile, the same white west is the scourge of black minorities in the west itself where it also opposes all forms of justice when it comes to black people. And the west is baffled why China which doesn't share its history of massacre, theft, and large scale racial subjugation is out competing it on the African continent? Really?

Thank you Stephen. In so many of these stories they always gloss over the part where Amin spoke of the "Asians" not wanting to integrate into Uganda society. We seem to forget how the "Asians" looked down upon the majority black African populations. They have the same superiority complex as the white colonizers. It was so 54 years ago as it is today. Africa has to stop being the footstool for the rest of the world. Why don't we ever hear about how Africans are treated in India, China and other former British colonies to this very day?

[@blackgold1980]

To be honest thats Africans fault. You open your borders to every group of people on the planet and you welcome them in and give them control and they then turn around and treat you like crap in your own country. In any case the Indians have their caste system with believes that to have dark skin you are literally cursed. Africans and black people need to understand that you have no allies. This should inform you which businesses you patronise, friends you make and who you associate yourself with.

Am a Ugandan and I support president M7 100% for He is a peace loving president but we Ugandans know the real truth of Idd Amin.

But IDD AMIN DADA was a blessed gift sent from heaven to our motherland. God bless AMIN for He laid a big founding stone for our country. Any Indian who left the country during his rule were Indians who weren't ready to be Ugandans and chose UK as their county but those whose chose to be Ugandans till now are there and all thy know is their Indian roots but are proud Ugandans, I mean I know of such families. And abt the corrupacy of the economy it the sanctions that the imperialist put on him so as bring him down. The western powers played their best games hence his downfall. Ugandans were so poor and discriminated in their own land thus his raise. I always say listen to the news but don't believe the news do ur own research. Right now if AMIN was to come back to life and stood for elections believe me he wld win undecisively. But we have M7 its fine too.

We were both wrong back then and two wrongs dont make a right. We were wrong against the indigenous folks and it came back to bite us in the rear.

A country where its people are not in charge of their business is a country of slaves. General Idi Amin is a legend. Enemies of Africa can demonize him as much as they want. This Tutsi Museveni thinks he is now a saint. We have good memories of the genocides he orchestrated in Uganda and the games he has been playing against the Congo. Is he not a longtime US CIA agent? Can Africans thrive in business in India? No, because these people are in command of their environment. Africans too must be in command in their own environment. That's why Indians are at war with the Chinese. And I can tell you all of them see Africa as a place to get resources. If forced to move to England was such a gain then why do some want to come back to Uganda? My cousin went to do IT-Studies in India and he was forced to leave India after his course. But these people think they should just come and settle in Africa and exploit the people. What Africans should ask themselves is: Do these Indians in Africa respect them?

Indians community Uganda in those days were very good in business..and contributed greatly to their economy....expelling them was a great mistake!!!

[@paulwabwiiyi9083]

He expelled them to create space for empowerment of the local citizens. Amin today in hindsight is well appreciated by the Ugandans for his intentions. It is normal to see his pictures on public transport vehicles, more that 40 years after fall.

[@theblackelephant]

Madam based on your statement Indians controlled 90% of the Ugandan economy, see how dangerous that situation can be for the native Ugandans

[@ArroEL922]

Why expel? Rules and regulations could have been put in place to control their influence, like higher taxes. That way, the Indians work to support the natives. Then who are the slaves and who are the masters? It was a bad move by Amin.

[@Mikey-cl7my]

They had 90% of the economy because the Ugandans were to stupid to run anything , just look at present day Uganda

[@hopeesperanza2867]

How do Indians treat Black people in India in SA. Black leaders must empower their people to take their resources and create an industry that thrives. Black people must own and run the economies of their land. Did Uganda not pay the Indians who were expelled by Amin. I am not justifying what happened but the full history and narrative around this story must be told so as to allow a balanced perspective to prevail. How do the Indians who are returning now treat Ugandans presently. Let us hear from the people of Uganda what their experiences are.

[@goodintentions5189]

Amin felt about Indians just like Hitler felt about Jews. How did Europeans feel about Native on a land which was not theirs anyway?

So how many Ugandan were taken to India? Or are living and thriving there. Unbelivablr racism on a global scale. Museveni a brutal dictator, was state agent and did not fight Amin. Uganda under tyrrant and racist neocolonism is a mafia state, money laundering and plunder is the order of the day. Racism, displacement, and land grabbing by bogus investors is exterminating the indeginous citizen. Museveni is a liar and will go. Victims of his genocide are waiting for justice.

Fiji did the same thing. Indians built Fijis economy..and they were forced to leave because of coup's

[@Visiontech]

Palki this is where you are only (and this is RARE for you), only telling a small part of this story. The British "INSTALLED" the Indians in Uganda and financed them for businesses and interfered with Ugandan efforts to start virtually any kind of business and that's how the Indians ended up owning 90% of the businesses there. The stores, factories, and more. Uganda gained independence in 1962 and were still under the yoke of the British with their puppets in power and the Indians continued to benefit. What General Amin Dada did was absolutely foolish however I must say as a long term backer of your news from WION to Firstpost that doesn't make the Indians innocent either. He would have been better to hire international experts to create some sort of transitional economic team because what was happening to his people was wrong and the Indians were basically robbing Uganda and doing business with the British by purchasing their imports from the British at every opportunity. Perhaps some others can comment on what I've said. I'd appreciate it. Thanks Palki Sharma for all of yours and Firstpost's efforts.

[@nikhilhembrom8952]

British also did same thing in India by giving parsis enormous business benifits but india didn't expell any of its own population

[@sttym1997]

😂😂 then why did you not succeed after expelling Indians??, why is your PM asking them to come back, just accept the fact that they are better than you in business field, victim narratives aren't going to take you anywhere.

It would have been better to hire international experts to create some sort of transitional economic team because what was happening to his people was wrong and the Indians were basically robbing Uganda and doing business with the British by purchasing their imports from the British at every opportunity. You sound very sensible. The problem is that once you start pointing fingers at someone for your problems, you will stop thinking in terms of solving the problems, and instead concentrate on whom to point your fingers to, once the problem remains unsolved. That is how he ended up killing 300,000 black Ugandans after the Indians were gone.

[@OtheDaddy]

@@prashanthkamath7437 Exactly, because Africans cannot think. I thought Amin murdered 3 million?

[@frankyyaggabot6222]

You know the story you tell will resonate with many of today's youth ... but it is completely false. The Indians thrived because they were accomplished businesspeople and kept a lot of what they did in-house. They had extensive trade networks and knew how to move goods around. They (the Parsees and other Gujaratis) had actually been trading with the East African Coast for hundreds of years before Europeans even came. Nobody installed the Indians - they saw a business opportunity and took it (as they did in many other corners of the British Empire).

[@sekurumudonzvo]

Despite all their contributions, Museveni needs to address the wealth and opportunity imbalance that exists between blacks that constitute over 95% of the population and the small Indian community.

[@blackgold1980]

To be honest there is very little government policy can do to address it. Other than increasing business taxes etc. Its more a cultural change. Africans need to support each other in business the same way other groups which includes Indians do in Africa. Why do you think the Indians, Lebanese, Chinese, Europeans etc do well economically in Africa? They protect their culture, are very exclusive about who they support in terms of business and are low level hostile to outsiders, refusing to befriend or marry into other cultures. Africans should do the same.

[@babolico9354]
