Imagine! Kenya sings for India
Length: 2:40
Description: Leading film-makers are seeking to change the way we think about other countries. This is one of a powerful series of films to be shown on Pangea Day, May 10, "the day the world comes together through film".
See all six anthems. Then visit http://www.pangeaday.org and register your screening for May 10. It's time to imagine a different world.
Here, set against the backdrops of Nairobi city and the beautiful landscape of Uhuru Park (Maasai country), a Kenyan choir sings the Indian national anthem.
The director has chosen the Indian anthem because Kenya is home to a sizeable Indian population (including Sikhs & Jains also) of approximately 2.5 million, most of them descendants of the East African Railways labourers who were brought over by the British during the late 19th and early 20th centuries when the British colonialists ruled Kenya and the rest of the East African region.

JELOUS OF WHAT???? Incase you missed it, i've reiterated the point that there is ABSOLUTELY noyhing special in these "Kenyam-indians"...or to be more precise, indians just passing thru.You may see it as me being demeaning 2 them but that's simply the way i've always seen things since i was a youngn'. Trust me pal I've got no insecurity whatsoever unless of course you can clearly define the term "insecurity chord" as used in your comment. I'm waiting for your response i.e. if you have one.

Apparently your insecurity chord was struck really hard. Cuz those comments you are making, sound as though you are JEALOUS. Since you are saying nobody is special you might as well deal wid de damn fact that you are included in that as well. Does it feel good demeaning other people? Gosh man!!!

u know what these people convert them by making them hate their past religion an by fooling them that their past religion is the reason for their misery, so how can u even expect such people to be secular when they grow up in such an enviorment, they'll always have hatred towards it,
