The Ugandans had the guns and the Indians had the money. The Ugandans thought that they could get everything by expelling. What the Indians took with them was the knowledge of how to make money.

My first flight as a trainee cabin attendant in 1972 was Bombay-Nairobi-Uganda-Nairobi. Uganda-Nairobi being a "refugee evacuation" Flight. I got off in Nairobi while the refugee flight continued onwards to Mumbai with a fresh crew. I saw first hand the ravages of a displaced population. People weeping and wailing, dazed and traumatized fleeing Idi Amin's barbaric rule, leaving their homes and possessions behind. Whatever little money and jewellery they had managed to bring with them, was taken away at the airport by the airport guards. I remember an old gentleman being carried on board by his children because the guards had broken his wooden leg looking for hidden money! There were two dead bodies being shipped back to BOM on this flight. The next day I was back on another evacuation flight NBO-BOM with the same heart wrenching scenario. In my 37 years of flying I have operated dozens of evacuation flights around the world bringing back our people from war torn zones, but these earlier flights shook me the most. I pray to God that good sense prevails and the people around the world live in peace and harmony with their loved ones. 🙏🙏🙏

Why should any country cover an event like that, or a better question would be, “who in their right minds would want to live in a country like Uganda”,?, Obviously the Ugandans would have expelled the Indians in order to steal their Assets, this happened then, and it’s not the last, not very hard to figure out. The Indians are at fault for putting themselves and family in that position.

Not like that current puppet Museveni of the West and foreigners who's still keeping indians to dominate the economy of Uganda. Foreign domination of the country's economy exploits the indigenous citizens. Black Africans are always hated and mistreated in Asia, Europe, etc. You don't find Africans dominating economy in Europe and Asia. So that thing shouldn't exist for foreigners in Africa too.

Historically, the Indians in East Africa were brought by the British to build railroads like the Chinese were forced to in the Western United States. So, they had been there for many generations since British colonialism. That's why they speak good English. This is certainly by no means to justify the brutality of colonialism and slave labor committed by the British. Furthermore, the British made sure to divide the Africans and Indians against one another. The British does this by favouring one group over the other, which is what you see in this documentary and why things happen the way it did. If you noticed, many of the Indians were still carrying British passports and not Ugandan passports. Why did they refuse to transition into having Ugandan passports? This was long after Uganda received its independence.

I read somewhere it was also because of the “exclusivity” of the Asian community. They were in this country in Africa, but hated and wouldn’t integrate with the Ugandans due to racial bias. So the Ugandans were like “you can’t be here, despise us, make money in our economy and not share”. Something like that anyways.

The present condition of Uganda tells us all about the decision made in 1972. You can not discriminate people on the basis of their race because they're affluent than you. Any kind of discrimination, expulsion brings only havoc, nothing else. If they would've inculcated the democratic behaviour of solving problems, rather than being authoritative, situation could've been different. Payment disparity along with racial disparities could've been dealt in a better way while bringing everyone to the table for discussion.

@@heldervaz221 Give back what? They paid 90% of Uganda’s tax. Uganda’s economy collapsed after the expulsion of Asians.

[@ManabDasiammanab]

Uganda's 80,000 Asians were mostly from the Indian subcontinent and born in the country, their ancestors having come to Uganda in search of prosperity when India was still a British colony. Many owned businesses, including large-scale enterprises, which formed the backbone of the Ugandan economy. Amin expropriated businesses and properties belonging to the Asians and the Europeans and handed them over to his supporters. Without the experienced owners and proprietors, businesses were mismanaged and many industries collapsed from lack of operational expertise and maintenance. This proved disastrous for the already declining Ugandan economy. At the time, Asians accounted for 90% of the country's tax revenue; with their removal, Amin's administration lost a large chunk of government revenue. The economy all but collapsed.

[@kamwaichan8048]

Looking back, the Asian people were very relaxed, knowing that they are been kick out of Uganda, not knowing what their future will hold in the next country, which ever countries they are going to migrated to. The Ugandan here looks very relaxed too...

[@yes8515]

It's interesting to see how early the egalitarian propaganda had already been brought in. The narrator just assumes that the Indians are only richer because of exploitation, doesn't even discuss the possibility of differences in work ethic/capability accounting for it until an Indian guy says it.

[@nairobinyeusi5811]

The Indians inherited the colonial racial hierarchy which placed Africans at the bottom of the economic pyramid. Indians were second & whites at the top. Before 1950 blacks couldn't own businesses let alone go to the same schools with Indians & whites. In Kenya Africans were restricted from Owning lands in their own land. Why complain of a system you introduced yourselves. Idi Amin was just giving them a taste of their own medicine. If it was in the middle East or China then their heads would be cut off. Africans were too kind.

The important thing is to truly learn from those lessons and make sure you don’t repeat the mistakes you made in the past.
