The Asian Community with Special Reference to Lira (Uganda) By Frances M. Dahlberg This paper analyzes the formation of an ethnic group in Uganda — “The Asian Community” — by immigrants from the Indian sub continent. Data 1 from the town of Lira in northern Uganda will be used to illustrate this process. Following Barth (1969:13) an ethnic group is seen as a form of social organization which is created by its members and by others in their social environment. It is not simply the result of geographical and social isolation (Barth 1969:9). Social processes generate and maintain the ethnic group by structuring interaction to maintain boundaries. Actors use ethnic identities to categorize themselves and others for purposes of interaction. Ethnic identities take cultural similarities and differences into account but not necessarily all of them. About seventy years ago Indian 1 2 traders came to northern Uganda. They enjoyed the protection of British colonial rule for almost sixty years. During much of this time, Uganda fit Furnival’s (1948) des cription of a plural society. Uganda was composed of separate racial sections created and maintained by Western force and integrated primarily in the marketplace. There were differences between the African, Asian and European sections as well as differences within each. Indians in Uganda came from India, Pakistan and Goa; were Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Zoroastrians and Christians; and spoke Gu- jerati, Panjabi Kutchi and Konkani. At the beginning, the Indian section was an aggregate of individuals — a crowd not a group (Furnival 1948:306-307). However, Indians soon created an ethnic group which they named “The Asian Communi ty”. This community was different from what its members had known in India, yet distinct from Africans or local Europeans. 1 Data were collected in 1968 during fieldwork in Lira, Uganda while the author was a Research Associate of Makerere Institute of Social Research and held an NIMH predoctoral fellowship and research grant. 2 The term “Indian” will be used for new migrants from the Indian sub continent. “Asian” will be used to refer to migrants who have settled in Uganda.
