Uganda has to be the most wonderful Country and despite forty years since Amin Fiasco, we still miss that life, unique! Ugandan people overall are most wonderful people, we employed over hundred at our Bahati Mines near Kisoro and also at Kikakati. I can say everything about our homeland was beautiful. Discrimination in my eyes is unwanted and unacceptable...
As a Ugandan Asian, our parents were proud to have fought for the British Army in East Africa & GB, we are most grateful to the British Govt & the lovely people who helped us, we honoured to be great hardworking/moral citizens and we would give our lives for this Country!
I am certainly am not a racist. Another thing to remember is what happened under Eid Amin was more than just about Ugandan Asians. I saw a lot myself and documented the events in my novel Shattered Lives and believe me, times were hard for all, Asians and everyone, the killings of local people was far beyond anything we can comprehend. I really hope that people, everyone in the world learns to live and let live, respect each other and this way we have a peaceful world.
Ugandan Asians haven't learned a thing still, they are as arrogant, racist as before... they cant mix with the local populace and when things turn around, they start asking themselves how did we get to this???!!!
@muzahura WTF are you talking about? Ugandan Asians are very Friendly people they had friends from all races and religions even to this day i know of an asian and black ugandan who are good friends today in England, i think your mixing Indians up with Ugandan Indians:)
We have found a wonderful place to live now in Britain,lived here since 1972 successfully,our children have settled happily and done even better than what they would have had in Uganda.None of them today would like to go back there for resettlement. Yet why the nostalgic feeling by us,is it the beautiful state Uganda was then or was the warm social life we all led that makes us have the fond memories?
I remember how dangerous that moment was. My family and I had bad experiences of very bad treatment by the Ugandan army. We are lucky survivors. When Sai Baba came to Uganda, He said to the Asians this was going to happen. Not many took Him seriously, hence faced the consequences we are great full to the British tolerance
It was very difficult for our people when Amin made his announcement, I have recollection of circumstances and situations families were going through. Life in Uganda was unique prior to this mess. I know people have moved on and made new lives but, for me, I also know that parents found it very difficult to adjust, I have written about life in Uganda and books can be viewed on Google and shatteredlives.co.uk. Plz, comment about your family circumstances so we can all share so many moons on!

Hello Muzahura,
I am certainly am not a racist. Another thing to remember is what happened under Eid Amin was more than just about Ugandan Asians.
