I saw that video. It was pretty incredible they still rememberI can’t find it but there was an interview of descendants of Somalis in India and they knew their lineage I’ll try to find it another time.
It's possible the were northern Somalis who worked for the british colonial administration.@Pipit
Probably mostly Benadiri type merchants who were trading between Somalia and South Asia. Don't think they were traditional Somalis.
The gender ratio also reveals it (merchants), unlikely to be settled people.
