I never knew Somali Indians existed

So my friend recently told me she has a coworker who is Indian, but her parents are actually Somali Indians, meaning they’re ethnically Indian but were born and raised in Somalia. They lived in Mogadishu until they left because of the civil war.

I’ve heard of Ugandan Indians, Kenyan Indians, and Tanzanian Indians, but I honestly never knew there were Indians living in Somalia during my parents’ generation. The only other ethnic group I knew that lived in Somalia were Yemenis, I went to school with a lot of Somali–Yemeni mixed kids.

Have you guys ever heard of Somali Indians?
