Good move by India. Most Africans would rather deal with an Indian than a ChiCom. Unlike China, the new kid on the block, India has been trading with Africa for over 1000 years.

That's not true.

The Indians have a worse reputation among Africans than the Chinese. (Hard to believe, but its true).

When we talk about Indians and Chinese we are really talking about a combination of their respective attitudes towards Africans and their business practices.

The Indian view of the World is largely coloured by the caste system. The worst place to carry the baggage of the caste system is Africa.
