Meeting the Indian Tanzanian Community (#34)

Tanzania's largest ethnic minority, the Indo-Tanzanian community has lived in the country for hundreds of years, some going back to even the Middle Ages. Many are descended from traders or indentured laborers from the state of Gujarat. The largest community is in Kisutu and Upanga in Dar es Salaam. Their history is complicated and sometimes tragic, but no one can deny they are Tanzanian.
