That it bears the title of Uganda’s most exclusive hill may be taken by some Ugandan as somehow presumptuous. Kololo Hill was written by a British Asian (who visited Uganda only once) obviously for a largely British audience. A few that do will probably reference Mira Nair’s 1991 film Mississippi Masala, which tells the story of an Indian family’s travails in the USA after leaving Uganda.įirst, a disclaimer. What do Ugandans know about the lives of Indians in Uganda before they were expelled by Idi Amin in 1972? Very little, if at all.
