The commentator has hardly provided any human depth to this story and makes stereotypical comments about modern India, but these communities extend along the old India coast from Maharashtra and Gujarat extending to Sind and Baluchistan, where the term Makrani is used (Sidi is mainly in Gujarat). However, one can come across individuals in other parts of the sub continent too (I have personally met villagers in West Punjab who said they were of the same origin). Also note there are other communities towards Sri Lanka and on the Andaman Islands who appear of African descent but are regarded to be the original native people of this region. The world is more complex than it appears.
