Please find attached below the wonderful work named: Ode To Indian Dukawala.
This important disaporic work is a small tribute to the unsung intrepid pioneering Indian traders and very often their families, who braved the unknown hazards of the Dark Continent, carried on regardless of disease, lack of comforts, privations, ill health, and even death, which they knew was their constant and real possibility.
The dukawalas have, in no small measure played an important role, in the economic growth of the three East African nations of Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. Hitherto the dukawalas remain unrecognised nor given a deservedly appropriate place in the annals of these nations. Without record of these traders and other Indians who also played a very prominent and important part in the economic and the political growth of these nations, the histories of these three East African countries would be incomplete.
