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.



Zain is a Journalist born and raised in Kenya. She went to School in York and Mcgill. She is the quintessential modern Verjee. Educated, sauve, charming, beautiful. Reminds me of her aunt Nilufur who was a heartbreaker.

She is described as one of the world's most respected and recognized Journalists with an action packed background and experience as a storyteller, Entrepreneur, communicator and interviewer. She anchored CNN International's World One Program airing out of the network's London Bureau, and worked for them in Atlanta,Washington and London for 14 years.

She is now the cofounder and CEO of AKOMA Media. An african focused digital media platform involved in consulting and media content development.
