100% On another note, the history of East Asians in Africa is fascinating. For an easy introduction watch The Last King Of Scotland and handsome young Denzel's Mississippi Masala.

Seems almost biographical. It came out about when Zohran was born & she met his dad when she went there to research it. Just truly fascinating stuff. Couldn't help but wonder how much was inspired by her husband's life

Just watched Mississippi Masala last night! I love learning about this history. I watched the Last King of Scotland years ago but don't recall anything about it. Such a fascinating, rich, heartbreaking history. Also, goddamn! Denzel 🔥

There are books about Indians in East Africa too. I reviewed this one written by Anna Greenwood and Harshad Topiwala on Indian Doctors in Kenya several years ago: academic.oup.com/ahr/article-...
