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.

And conversely Africans also launched an ethic cleansing of sorts against Indians in many places especially under the infamous Idi Amin of Uganda. And as they later on realized it was a disastrous thing to do. The Indian community (with warts and all) were a good think to have for the economy. I have had family members who fled to UK and are now millionaires. One would hope the Africans have learned their lesson when they are welcoming Indians in again. No ones perfect, least of all the Africans themselves.

And if you think the Chinese aren't racist and more tolerant then Indians then you are being delusional.
