Can someone tell me about the African diaspora of India?

Question

look up the Siddis people

Answer 1

Siddis came over with the Portuguese in the 15th century and with the Arabs before that, enslaved in both cases. Fortunately, they managed to escape their condition and even establish kingdoms in India. - as Wiki correctly says:

"In fact, small Siddi kingdoms were established in western India in Janjira and Jaffrabad as early as the twelfth century. The island of Janjira was formerly called Habshan, meaning the land of the Habshis. A few rulers of Bengal in the 15th century were of Habshi descent. The Habshis also played an important role in the history of Western India, particularly in the struggle between the Marathas and the Mughal empire; with the Habshis often aligning themselves with the Mughals."
