When I am browsing through the online edition of Outlook yesterday, I came across this write up about successful Indian entrepreneurs in Uganda. In 1972, the Idi Amin government ordered people of Indian origin to leave the country as its capital Kampala looked more like an Indian City than any thing else. It received wide spread criticism at that time. Later in 1980, the government that was formed after he was ousted declared the Indians can come back to the country and their properties would be returned back to them. After more than three decades the business owned by them are creating waves not only in Africa but in other parts of the world as well. Uganda is also doing its best to attract Tata Group that is on a buying spree across the world. When the main stream media is busy in focusing on US, UK and Asia, this article makes an interesting read.
