During the [[Uganda Protectorate]] period, the British colonialists used [[South Asian]] immigrants as intermediaries. Following independence they constituted the largest non-indigenous ethnic group in Uganda, at around 80,000 people, and they dominated trade, industry, and the professions. This caused resentment among the native [[Africa]]n majority, which was exploited by post-Independence leaders.

After [[Idi Amin]] [[1971 Ugandan coup d'état|came to power in 1971]], he declared "economic war" on the Indians, culminating in the [[Expulsion of Asians from Uganda|Expulsion of Asians in Uganda in 1972]]. Since Amin's overthrow in 1979 some Asians have returned. There are between 15,000 and 25,000 in Uganda today, nearly all in the capital [[Kampala]].
