Introduction
Uganda was the destination from which many Asian families came to Britain in 1972 when they were expelled from the country by the then President Idi Amin. Many years previously many Indians had crossed the Indian Ocean to settle in Africa, moving inland to Uganda. This land-locked country enjoys a long shore line along Lake Victoria.
