This is my last video about Pakistan today i went to an area in Karachi called LYARI .
the reason why i came to this area its cause this is where you find the forgotten African Community called sheedi .
who are the sheedis or called the Baloch people they are African descent who came from Africa They are primarily descended from the Bantu peoples of east Africa, who were merchants, sailors, indentured servants, slaves and mercenaries.
Although community members no longer have any direct contact with Africa, they still retain some African cultural traits. For instance, at festivals they play a tall drum, the mugarman, and dance the leva, both believed to be of East African origin. The elders still speak some words of the African languages spoken by their ancestors. However, these are continuously under attack from mainstream culture and are at risk of dying out.
Sheedis face widespread discrimination in Pakistan from other community groups due to their appearance and the colour of their skin, especially in social matters such as marriage - the only other social group to intermarry with Sheedis are the low-caste fisherfolk clan - as well as in the workplace. Women, in particular, often encounter discrimination in livelihood opportunities and are badly paid by their employers.
