Being African in India: 'We are seen as demons'

'I speak Hindi and always laugh. But when I offer biscuits to the neighbours' children, they don't accept.'

"The caste system makes it easier for people to accept other forms of exclusion," he explains.

There might also be what he calls "psychological compensation" at play for those Indians who experience prejudice as members of lower castes or the so-called "other backward classes".

"They could feel better by looking at African people and thinking 'at least I am better than that'," he says.
