Jambur

Check out this BBC feature on African communities in India. No-one really knows where they came from, though it is likely that they were brought as slaves by the European invaders. I'd never heard of Africans in India before I read this, though apparently some sections of the Dalit Panthers movement in the 50's claimed African ancestry as a way of seperating themselves from the Hindu mainstream. Anyway, an interesting piece.....
