Life in Uganda 40 Years On

40 years ago Uganda was home to a large Asian community, Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs called it paradise. But the peace and tranquillity that existed for generations was to be short lived due to the actions of Idi Amin. In 1972 he ordered Asians to leave the country and were given just 90 days to flee.
Pukaar News travelled to Uganda with Businessman Khalid Sheikh from Leicester. He was born in Uganda but had to leave with his family when he was just 14, but he regularly returns to visit his mothers grave.
Pukaar News spoke to other Ugandan Asians who were forced to leave 40 years ago but have since returned to the county and re-started businesses including Mayur Madhvani and Sudhir Ruparelia.

[@silentvoiceinthedark5665]

The sentiment in the late 60s and early 70s in Uganda was fixated on the assumption of the entitlement to equality of outcomes. The Indians were rich and natives were not. The sentiment was that the Indians were holding back the natives. The Indians saved their money and focused on commerce and rose up economically. The natives could not do this because they lacked the commerce culture not because they were inept. Many of the Indians came from Gujarat which had seen some very hard times and due to cyclical agriculture limitations. The people there learned and became savvy. In sharp contrast Uganda was a paradise of nature, there were fruit trees every where people had not seen hard times or famines, they did not have a history of hard times passed down through generations. Uganda had an abundance of food and was a net exporter of food till Idi Amin expelled the Indians.

For example malaria is consider to be "holoendemic" in Uganda which means that everyone who lives there becomes infected at least a once a year without any intervention or prevention.

When the Brits administered the place, they brought in Asians as laborers for building the railways, and among those who came were some who had experience as shop owners. As they started their own businesses, they filled a void in the economy, as the locals had no such acumen, and everyone benefited. As in Kenya, where the Mau Maus destroyed a vibrant economy simply because of their envy of the accomplishments of the European managers, in Uganda, Amin played upon this black envy to chase out the Asians, with whom he had no affiliations, in order to consolidate his rule; an impoverished former colony was the result. This is the pattern with all African-dominated countries (Haiti included), but it's always blamed upon whites (even decades or centuries down the line) by those who are incapable of accepting responsibility for their own actions...

[@RonnieOtieno]

chokkan7 This is so stupid. So you can compare Kenyan economy now and 1950s again what did Mau Mau destroyed?. So freedom fighters destroyed economy?. You may wonder why one would choose to use his head as storage for the teeth and completely refuse to utilize the brain

[@chokkan7]

Admittedly, I puzzled over this for some time, trying to divine some meaning from the unintelligible mishmash of poorly-grasped English, before I offered a response. If I understand you correctly, are you maintaining that the Mau-Maus harmed no one? If so, you are sorely mistaken, as they not only murdered pregnant English women, but they also targeted those natives who had no objections to the British presence. As to 'freedom fighters', I'm unsure what you mean. Is this your name for those agents of Communist China who drank a mix of blood and semen, then attacked unarmed civilians? If so, then I need to ask: of what use is your own skull, other than to harbor a few remaining teeth? As a receptacle for brains, it seems to have sprung a leak...

[@RonnieOtieno]

chokkan7 So murdering someone is destroying the economy?. You have no idea whatever you are talking about. Trying to compare kenya now and 1960s is bullshit. There is a thin line between ignorance and being utterly stupid and you are both. We celebrate mau mau as freedom fighters it doesn't who they killed. If you aren't a kenyan you shouldn't even be talking. For sure shit is supposed to come from your ass not your brain but reading your comments, there is no difference.

[@chokkan7]

You have a facility for name calling, but not so much for making logical connections. If you disagree with any portion of my comment, why not make a rebuttal, rather than simply calling me names or telling me I don't have the right to make an observation? Personally, I'd rather have a civil discourse, as that's the way people learn and better themselves, but it's clear you can only rant incoherently; there's nothing I could hope to learn from someone like you. You don't even understand your own history...

[@RonnieOtieno]

chokkan7 I reply people based on their arguments. If you want to know how progressive kenya has been and how colonialists treated people. Read and research. If the kind of treatment during colonial days were still their you couldn't have seen many rich and middle class people in Kenya. Ooh and btw British worked this way A was Africans B was Indians and C Europeans based on racism and white superiority.

[@danphil3939]

This happend everywhere when Europeans left Africa. The blacks, and also asians weren't ready at all..

[@leesteal4458]

You don't know what you're talking about. The Asians built up the economy and we're then kicked out by Idi Amin.

[@tralbriggs104]

Idi Amin said they refused to integrate and were only using African wealth for themselves.. Indians and Arabs could not do to Uganda what they did to Trinidad and Fiji.....Let them leave .

[@geoffdundee]

Dog Heart "Idi Amin said they refused to integrate"..........now they are in europe and uk and still dont integrate. did you ever watch the film LAST KING OF SCOTLAND?........watch it

[@keithrjoseph9528]

Dog Heart last time I checked the Indians are Trinidadian citizens and if it wasn't for their commercial sense the country would be an economic basket case.

[@SuperBenette]

They have just cashed in in south-africa, I think it is difficult to have people of other races arround you, better poor than enslaved.

[@arsenalf.c6443]

Trinidad's first ever Women President is of Indian descent. If thats not integration, what is? Sunil Narine, Shiv Narayan ChandraPaul, Ravi Rampaul are famous Carribean Cricketers.

That decision is absolutely right...a nation should be run by people of it's own...the only thing you guys need is to educate yourselves how to rise up, teach every individual how to be responsible.. you actually don't need foreign for you to improve your lives

The electric man 1 you are ignorant. When was The first Uganda a Muslim country

[@upahtv]

Indonesia was in trouble , not because kicking out the chinese peoples. But it was only because the America wanted to take Indonesian natural resources, thats why Indonesia has suffered decades of political instability. From 1965 to 1999.

you full of bullshit! They try to kill us -.- you got to understand we fight Hamas not because we want too! because Hamas shoot above 3500 missiles to Israel territory... just think about that you should go to the shelter at least 20 times a day and wait every time 10 minutes!! is that a life? (that was before Israel start attack Hamas) moreover, Israel do all to kill Hamas terrorists and not to hurt Gaza civilians

You don’t have an Indian friend if you believe this nonsense. Also, have you met Africans lately? So honest and yet presiding over the most corrupt governments in the world and with a diaspora that is hell bent on filling the world’s jails. But super honest, of course.

Gujaratis are successful wherever they go...even in India. Their success abroad is unique to their community. Not just Ugandans even in India their entrepreneurship is second to none

[@paulbagu9618]

One clear thing was that ugandans were not going to be disrespected in their own country, in uganda food is abundant with or without any foreigner. Everyone was on board with what Amin did and would do it all over again under the same circumstances. For now all foreigners are invited provided they have a lot of cash, since we can not be outnumbered in our own home.
