Indian Settlers in Africa:The Legacy of Suleman Verjee and sons.
By Dr. Kas Jamal

Dr. Kas Jamal (MD, FRCP(C), FCCP) creates a facinating first person narrative of Khoja Ismaili & Indian life in colonial & post colonial Kenya through the lens of a leading merchantile family operating and interacting within a 'samaj", a collection of Indian migrant communities. His observations on people, institutions and general society are insightful and quite often humorous.

The book is available through Amazon in Kindle Edition.

The excerpt below is from the book.



Jimmy survived the likoni Ferry but was killed years later by a hit and run Matatu Driver (Privately owned share ride vehicles) in Nairobi.
