They need skill based Forest and Agriculture community schools, not the regular education that brings them jobs.

@@harinig5799 what Seeni said is not wrong, she did mention community schools too. To start with the Siddis need to develop their own place before going to live in other places. They need to have control of their own land first and own environment, when the land get developed it will create other opportunities and prospects that have nothing to do with forestry. Because if the young Siddis start to leave their place, many of them might not come back, they might be more attracted by big towns, and who is going to develop their villages?

+ vote for your attitude. However it is a complex situation for Siddis I suppose. They came from Africa 1000s of years ago and did not integrate with the local population. They are now used to living close to forest all these years. The local government has been trying to help them, for eg. there are sports programs to hand hold them out of their comfort zones. They are quite talented in sports. The fact is there are opportunities in Karnataka(the state) and India, if only they can make an effort. The guy who interprets in English for this program came up through such government programs and it is up to people like him to pull up others in that community. Yes India has its problems with discrimination, caste based, ethnicity based and offcourse race based. It breaks my heart to hear that girl talk about going back to Africa. I agree Africa has its share of economically developed areas but we all know it has more than its own fair share of economic and political issues. Siddis future lies here if they make an effort

But, government schools are in a pathetic state in the big cities itself and private schools won't come there... And those who do manage to get out and improve their lives, they don't come back to help their community... The initiative should come from Siddis who are educated and now are in good positions... They mentioned about the brahmin community, there are brahmins in abject poverty too... But, the difference is they somehow manage to get their kids educated even if they'll end up having nothing to eat... This initiative has made the Brahmin community prosperous despite having no reservations and quota benifits... This is the reason why communities with all the quotas and reservation benifits are not able to surpass the brahmin kids when it comes to academics... That drive should come in all the communities...

We are sorry if you have faced discrimination on the basis of your colour or race and are at a disadvantage because of that. But the very fact that you are an Indian and listening to you speak Indian Language, your assimilation in the Indian culture itself brings a great joy to us. Although you have your roots in Africa, you have spread your branches in India. you are as much an Indian like any of the rest. But not everyone is prejudiced towards you. Maybe the conditions have changed when the Siddis first entered India when it was a land of opportunity and accommodation for the early migrants. But you are no less talented and you are one beautiful group that constitutes varied and rich heritage of India. #Weareone.

In the video, the lawyer chooses his words carefully before visualpoet interjects him with loan american words of racism. Neverthless, I know the Siddi experiece in India is equal to the lower castes, which I hope will become irrelevant with better education and opportunities. I know we have the motivation to do better. The lawyer says that educated Siddis are treated well when they move out to cities, away from their neighbourhood. On the contrary, African-Americans getting respect out of America. I hope people understand that difference. As with every Indian who wants to succeed, they have to come out of their comfort zone (of community, caste, religion, language), go out into the open world and learn.

7:13 Sad that this guy is giving all wrong perspective of the local people and the system. They are living happily here since centuries means that they are treated good by locals. All are treated equal in India and in this part of India all free to join government schools. If they dont want to study and mingle with locals then it is there fault. It is bad to complain about locals and administration once you see people from your root country. If you are born in Karnataka you are entitled to all government schemes. It is as simple as that.

@william Khims These people ARE Hebrews (aka Africans)! The problem is you don't know your history! Their ancestors were taken from Africa as slaves, just like mine was. You need to watch the documentary called Hebrews to Negroes kzbin.info/www/bejne/apzZfHttmpqHl7s and then maybe those of you that are still living in Africa will understand that we are all one people. Many of your Tribes are all Hebrews (Yoruba, Igbos, Ewes, etc.) are all descendants of the Children of Israel...YES! the same people who Moses led out of Egypt into Israel and who later migrated across the continent. There will be another exodus because Yah said he was going to gather us from the 4 corners of the earth and bring us back to our land. Stop thinking you're different from the rest of us in the diaspora. We are all from one family..Jacob is our forefather and Abraham our great grandfather. The colonizers have done a great job in dividing us, but Bob Marley told us to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery...many of us are still enslaved in the mind. It's time to wake up and see what's really going on. If we stay divided, we will NEVER get back what we lost. Don't you think it's time? Just because they do not look like you, you think they're not family? Continue to think like that and stay in ignorance.

I have no problem sponsoring a sidis family to move back to Africa and give their children a good and better education at the expense of where they call home. If they feel comfortable in the village, let's give them what it will take to have a good life in the village. Living in a village does not mean you are less human or not talented.

[@sonju2k71]

Why don't you sponser them in India? They are living in India from 10nth century. They will not leave India, as this is their own country. They created empires here, they played a role in history, they were warriors known for their military strength. They are known for their riches earned through virtual monopoly on sea trade. You have seen one side of the story. This story is a selected story from a remote village of India depicting some people outside from mainstream. My extended family living in a remote area is not in a better position than these guys. Siddis are spread all the western coast from Gujrat to remote South. Their economic and educational conditions vary vastly. Yes caste system is a reality, but it has nothing to do with ethnicity. And yes we all came from Africa, why don't you people sponser whole india to your continent.
