Can't believe you got the history correct. Well done for pointing out the sheedi where not slaves but traders and soilders.

[@saadtunio709]

I see this agenda that sheedis were traders not slaves, it makes me sad that people only care about lying and promoting their agenda, I know they were slaves, but how can I tell someone who is stubborn about this matter, you can believe whatever history is history

Their amazing seamanship got them from East Africa to Karachi. Idiotic racist Indian comments about them being Mughal slaves are wrong. If the Mughal emperors had african slaves Mughl capitals Delhi and Agra would be full of African descendants. These are top seafaring people of the coast. I didnt see any shirk nobody bowed to the grave only prayed fatiha as in sunnah. Nobody there believes in reincarnation. The crocodiles are a heritage of the saint and show respect for all life. The video shows love and friendship between African Syidis (lords, Sayyids), and non African Sindhis, Balochis and Urdu speaking of thet area. The saint converted the local "untouchable low caste" people to islam and freed them from Hindu caste system. So they visit and show respect with simple love no shirk. They Syidis and non Africans all give respect in a shared shrine and multiracial egalitarian way of Islam. They are dressed in Pakistan clothes but are African except to blind people trolling here. Great vlog Mashaallah.

This is the history of my brothers that the whiteman does not want you to know.

[@S1LVAW0LF]

I’m pretty sure they are mostly associated with the balochis. Coastal Baluchistan province in Pakistan was joined at the hip with the Omani sultanate which stretched from Zanzibar Tanzania to Baluchistan Pakistan. They are the descendants of slave trade that the Omanis operated during that time. That’s why you also find Afro descendants in Oman even. and balochis are actually huge in number in Oman as well. Omanis probably brought slaves/slave soldiers to the west coast of India as well, along with other arabs and the portuguese. They were also involved in this indian ocean slave trade.
