Africans in India: From slaves to rulers

The funerary complex shown in this photograph above was also designed by eunuch Malik Sandal

after 1597 in Bijapur (in present-day southern Karnataka state).

     

The main African figures of the past have not been forgotten but their ethnicity has been erased  :-[

"The people who have heard of Malik Ambar, for example, do not know he was Ethiopian !!!

Does it mean that these men's origin was so irrelevant that it was useless to mention it,

OR is this historical erasure the product of a conscious denial of the African contribution ?

"African men were employed in very specialised jobs, as soldiers, palace guards,

What's specialized about being a soldier, guard, or bodyguard?  ::confused::

Africans did that for Muammar Gaddafi.

What's the big deal when Africa and India both are a social and political mess? Doing stupid s*** like swapping cows for wives, adults marrying kids, and the dowry system?  ::confused::

Delhi is such a dangerous city for women that women are afraid to come out at night.
