A much broader cultural engagement with the continent is needed to combat latent racism among Indians.
After a teenager disappeared in Greater Noida March 26, residents have accused Nigerian students five residents of the enclave of cannibalism broke into the house where Nigerian students staying and searched the fridge for leftovers Youth , who died in a hospital after being found in a nearby park after unfounded the family of the victim complaints, the police charged the students with murder, but do not hold for lack of evidence has been later reported that the boy died of a drug overdose This incident followed by further violence against African students in Noida, marks a new low in racism faced by African in India.
This vicious race of crime is a clear sign of a terrible ignorance, arrogance and recycling old tropes of Africans as uncivilized Indians, with their preference for whiteness and total absence of information and exposure rich cultural heritage of Africa and its contemporary policy, Africans were denied India their __gVirt_NP_NN_NNPS<__ l'humanité de base qui est démontré dans leurs accusations de cannibalisme la délation ultime de l'inhumain des autres.
Il y a eu plusieurs cas atroces de racisme l'année dernière envers les Africains en Inde Masonda Ketada Olivier, un jeune homme congolais qui était professeur de français à l'extension du Sud, a été assassiné alors qu'il rentrait d'une fête quand il a essayé de rentrer à la maison un rickshaw et a eu une altercation avec trois hommes qui voulaient louer le véhicule dans lequel il a été brutalement sorti de l'auto, agressé et frappé à la tête avec une pierre, il a été précipité au centre de traumatologie AIIMS mais a été déclaré mort à l'arrivée.
Les crimes haineux aggravées contre les Africains ne sont pas limités à Delhi et ses environs Trois mois avant la tragédie Olivier, une femme âgée de 21 ans tanzanienne conduisait à Bengaluru quand une foule a arrêté la voiture, elle traînés, a battu son et enlevèrent son shirt de journaux locaux ont rapporté que la police se tenait alors qu'elle a été battue et paradé nu la voiture a été incendiée.
Apparently, the young Tanzanian student was beaten to avenge the death of a woman who was crushed by a Sudanese less than an hour before the attack Students pleaded with the police for help insisting that it has nothing to do with the fatal accident in her complaint, she alleged that a police officer told her all of you look like and you should get the black man who ran over a woman in the area.
Although these monstrous incident hit the headlines, India Africans face racism every day that makes them very dangerous The police attitude reflects and exacerbates racial violence and discrimination of African students are mostly left to protest against hate crimes and the government, eager to appease African governments, offering mandatory sorry and promises to look into the incident and bring justice, however, no serious attempt to fight against racism against Africans in India were undertaken.
There were 42.420 foreign students in India in 2016. The major emitting countries were Nepal 21, 3 Afghanistan March 10, Bhutan 6 6 Sudan 4 8, Nigeria July 4, indicating that after the three countries SAARC partners Sudan and Nigeria send the most students to study in India students come from many African countries to India as many universities offer quality education in English that is much more reasonable than in the West University Mysore, for example, has 2,000 foreign students, many African countries.
Thus, Indian students have the opportunity to meet African students and learn about a part of the world they know little despite the fact that India had trade relations with Africa over the centuries and many people of Indian origin live and have lived for centuries Africa.
Nana Peasah, a Ghanaian student, recently returned to Accra after studying at the University of Mysore for two years, he was co-coordinator international students at the university in 2015-16, he sought to learn more about the India and joined the Rotary Club of Mysore he also attended the international Church of destiny, a Pentecostal church, where many foreign students feel welcome While M. Peasah had many foreign students friends from the world whole, it was harder to make friends with Indian students make friends with students was almost impossible, that Indian men were quick to accuse the Africans to make advances to their women, even if they were just trying to study together.
Concerned about the racism faced by many African students, M. Peasah helped organize a Peace March to raise awareness of racism in India He also helped launch a campaign to clean Rajkumar Park to show that foreign students, including Africans were also part of the Bharat Swachh effort and could contribute to the mission of the country to create a cleaner India While very few other Mysore University students have joined the March peace, Mr. Peasah appreciated the fact that more than 40 students came in a bus Vikram nursing school to join and even first aid supportive care for walkers.
M. Peasah think it is essential that proper guidance is given to African students studying in India, it may be or most critical for Indian students and community members where African students live have a better understanding of Africa This would require discussion and exposure to many cultures and diversity of Africa.
To date, there is little effort, even among artists and intellectuals to solve the problem of blatant racism so rampant in India and among Indians abroad The work of photographer-Bangalore Mahesh Shantaram is an exception The African Portraits, an exhibition of photographs in collaboration with Tasveer, was mounted in Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Mumbai and Kolkata Mr. Shantaram very direct and intimate portraits of African students, relaxation, or take a nap emphasize familiarity and everydayness of life, he briefly describes each of the individuals with respect and sensitivity and challenges and the viewer to see the multidimensionality of each individual photographed the beautiful color portraits also speak to the various faces of the continent These representations nuanced forcing the viewer to go -delà stereotypes to see each person represented; their lives are no different from our own.
In addition, an exhibition of Africans in India was launched last year that traveled to Delhi and Vadodara Curated by an American art collector, Robbins Kenneth X, the exhibition was held in 2013 at the Schomburg Center for Research black Culture, New York describes the trade and political relations between several African groups from the fourth century AD, and examines in particular the role that Muslims in east Africa have played like slaves and traders India, with some such as Malik Ambar of Ethiopia, who was a prominent noble in Ahmadnagar Sultanate in the 17th century rising to become important military generals.
A much more concerted effort must be made by the Indian government and Indian citizens, intellectuals and artists to make Africans feel safe in India as Police, who are often involved in racist incidents must be trained and the issues of racism within the force seriously the subject of proceedings students on Indian campuses must be informed of racism against foreign students and showed that it is no different from racism in the face of Indian students abroad India therefore vehemently denounces also for a country the size of India and given the growing number of Africans coming to India to study and for medical tourism, a much broader cultural engagement with the continent is necessary not only to fight against the evil of racism, but also to expand global horizons of Indian public.
