&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Nazim&amp;rsquo;s words, and his deliberate usage of a racial slur, lashed me like a whip.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;I was attending a Goma performance on top of a secluded hillock behind the mazar of Baba Gohr in Ratanpur, located 30 km from Gujarat&amp;rsquo;s Bharuch. Goma comes from the Swahili word &amp;ldquo;damama&amp;rdquo;, meaning drums, and is a dance form that originated in the African bushes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;It came to India through Africans brought to the subcontinent as slaves across six centuries until the 1860s. The performers at Ratanpur are descendants of these slaves, now known as the Siddi community. Nazim was the leader of the troupe, and his comment came in response to my question as to why, after the performance, he and the others went into the nearby bushes to chew raw leaves.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Nazim&amp;rsquo;s comment, as an Indian dissociating his community from this Indian-ness, is testament to the marginalised condition of the Siddi community today.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Nazim&amp;rsquo;s words, and his deliberate usage of a racial slur, lashed me like a whip.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;I was attending a Goma performance on top of a secluded hillock behind the mazar of Baba Gohr in Ratanpur, located 30 km from Gujarat&amp;rsquo;s Bharuch. Goma comes from the Swahili word &amp;ldquo;damama&amp;rdquo;, meaning drums, and is a dance form that originated in the African bushes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;It came to India through Africans brought to the subcontinent as slaves across six centuries until the 1860s. The performers at Ratanpur are descendants of these slaves, now known as the Siddi community. Nazim was the leader of the troupe, and his comment came in response to my question as to why, after the performance, he and the others went into the nearby bushes to chew raw leaves.&lt;/p&gt;

Finding George Floyd in Gujarat: A day in the life of the Siddi community -Joydip Mitra

-Newslaundry.com Racism is as much a religion in India as is cricket. The Siddis know this too well. “We know that you Indians want to see us, the n*****, act like animals,” said Nazim Siddi, 30. Nazim’s words, and his deliberate usage of a racial slur, lashed me like a whip. I was attending a Goma performance on top of a secluded hillock behind the mazar of Baba Gohr in Ratanpur, located 30 km from Gujarat’s Bharuch. Goma comes from the Swahili word “damama”, meaning drums, and is a dance form that originated in the African bushes. It came to India through Africans brought to the subcontinent as slaves across six centuries until the 1860s. The performers at Ratanpur are descendants of these slaves, now known as the Siddi community. Nazim was the leader of the troupe, and his comment came in response to my question as to why, after the performance, he and the others went into the nearby bushes to chew raw leaves. Nazim’s comment, as an Indian dissociating his community from this Indian-ness, is testament to the marginalised condition of the Siddi community today. Please click here to read more.
