@Massambula G haha...Chinese don't give anything. They capture small countries mostly in Africa to transfer their plastic business in Africa because it pollutes the air and water. Moreover, Africans are strong so they are good for Chinese factories. By the way, people from different countries go to other places. African working in India is not only because there are no jobs in Africa. A lot of Norwegians work in US but it doesn't mean that there are no jobs in Norway. Globalization is giving opportunities to work and explore other countries. You are getting offended even though the above comment was very positive about Uganda.

The Indians in Guyana also suffered a vicious African racial backlash during the period 1964 to 1992, although Indians were a significant majority in the country. Indians migrated heavily to Canada and the US and now there are more Guyanese living outside Guyana than inside. I have met Ugandan and Kenyan Indians who experienced very bad things done by the native Africans. The Indians in Guyana are significantly different from the Indians who went to Uganda. The former were poor just like the Africans; they did not look at Africans as inferior or exploited the country, they built the country by use of their own hands and they never looked at India as their mother country - although they came as Hindus and Muslims.

Africans were brought Guyana before Indians were taken as indentured servants. If African people treated Indians so badly why do Indians not go back to India instead of staying or wanting to return to Africa.

When Idi Amin expelled Indians around 1972, what happened? Ugandans who took over Indian owned shops sold the merchandise, and when there was nothing left to sell they closed the shop. Larger operations like sugar factories shut down because Ugandans lacked management ability. Indians provided value to Uganda - entrepreneurship, management ability, hard work, dedication to growing the business. All of which most Ugandans didn't possess. Indians did contribute to Uganda's development of several industries - sugar, cotton, textile, retail; and more recently electrical, transportaiton, telecom, banking and so on. These businesses generated jobs for Ugandans, and tax revenue for the govt.

Whatever happened to Uganda it’s the responsibility of Ugandans to sort out. If you are referring to the impact the expulsion of Indians had on the Ugandan economy than I’d argue that it was proven correct. A non-native minority monopolizing the economy of nation so much so that it becomes crippled due their absence is non sustainable for any nation. It is never wise for any minority group to hold such power over a larger majority and naturally it would create tensions. Political and economic autonomy is extremely important for any group. This is why nations apply protectionist methods whenever there is a loss of economic autonomy. Idi Amin was not an economist nor a learned man as far as I know he was a military man. He applied drastic measures but what he did conceptually isn’t new and has been done by many nations successfully when properly implemented.

I grew up in Nigeria and we watched and followed the events on the other side of the continent as they unfolded. Fact remains that all the money that the Indians made was going into bank accounts in Europe, primarily UK. The Indians ( particularly Gujaratis) treated the local Ugandans very shabbily, and , essentially , as lesser beings. Adding to this, the 1970s was the era of a new awakening in Africa, where the newly independent African nations were rising to make their voice heard. Sad truth is, Gujarati xenophobia and racism led to the expulsion of all Indians. Non Gujju Indians, for no fault of theirs, got caught in this and had to suffer.

It entails you only receive foreign direct investment but become slaves to india vis employment with no real value added to your people except maybe transfer of skills. Is it not better for us to start our own business in nigeria and then go to india and employ indians and other africans in our own factories in india? I don't get this man's logic of doing business. Doing business is a very vague term. Prostitution is doing business, so is children miners in china and congo. This guy want us to work for somebody else forever.

Indians where brought in by the British during colonisation ,so the Indians where given better opportunities than blacks that is why they flourished. The high hierarchy was white ,Indians then blacks people who where deprived of everything and yet they where the owners of the country . You can't do that ,you can't treat black people the honors of the country as a third class citizen .So when Uganda gained it's independence it wanted to take the economy in its hands and let black people be part of it .

Coming from what I call a mix up of Caribbean heritage I am not in any position or have the luxury to be a racist. They are very hard working and pleasant people but if they are going to fight for a land of their own then it must be frightening to become a foreigner in your own land. It's great for others to revamp the country but why do you refuse to help your own people. They can't all be useless or bad. It is the indigenous people's wealth so why can't they be given a hand up. Many foreigners are coming without skills with little to offer yet can start without paying taxes and whatever. If our people are not paid a proper salary, schooling or no form of loan scheme then they cannot develop. African leaders must spend the national wealth to help its citizens. The Young's are left to live in slums that looks like no other. Jobs without a livable wage or just enough to pay bus fare are useless. Africa needs to close its door to any more immigrants and uplift its own. Of course keeping ones culture is important but to be separate and apart from the indigenous people while benefiting from their land and labour is unacceptable in my opinion. If workers the skills for a job is available then the government should refuse entry for any outsider to be brought in to fill such a position.
