Excerpt:

"Long before the first slave ships started supplying labour to the cotton plantations of the American south, and many centuries before the first Africans were brought ashore to the sugar estates of Brazil and the Caribbean, Africans were being sold as slave-soldiers for India's princely states.

"Their descendants are the least visible part of the huge African diaspora."

Yes Maharajas used to own black African slaves...

But as African slaves have the exact same color of skin as most Hindus, especially the ones from the south, and contribute nothing more to civilization than these Dravidians do, they blend in easily. Notice they don't even form some special "disadvantaged" group to be given special rights so something???

Not all Indians are Dravidic, and Indians have accomplished infinitely more than sub-Saharan Africans. Their skin tones are not identical except in extreme cases in the south of India. Hindu is not a racial classification anyway.
