Abstract

Historical linkages between India and Ethiopia go back around 2,000 years of recorded history. A sizeable Indian community consisting of merchants and artisans settled down in Ethiopia in the latter part of the 19th century. Indians are immigrants into Ethiopia and in entire East Africa. The majority have come from the Gujarati- speaking areas. There is tremendous goodwill that Indians enjoy in Ethiopia. Indian influence on education, small trade, and cuisine is as real as the influence of Bollywood in Ethiopia. The rapid expansion of higher education in Ethiopia has increased the demand for qualified academic staff and these included many Indian academicians. Now, aside from Bollywood, Ethiopians' principal contact with Indians is as teachers/lecturers in secondary schools or universities, particularly in the provinces. Teachers from India have carved a special place in Ethiopia with their open-handed efforts across generations.
