Some of the names to Indians at Lunyerere

-: I remember when we were kids one of my uncles used to call Drakadus 'Rwanikadwas' 😀😀😀. Runyerere gave birth to the famous Ambwere!!

-: I also met two of the Runyerere wahindi in Nakuru, they could talk very fluent kimaragoli but with a kihindi accent

-: 😃😃😃 I'm trying to imagine maragoli in Indian accent!

-: There was one Muuhindi with a wholesale in Ksm. I used to buy from his shop till a Maragoli mzee told me he spoke Lulogooli since he had lived in Lunyerere. He was called Gokan.

-: These are some of the Hindus who were at Lunyerere. I write as they were pronounced.

Birimoji
Maturi
Sirivai
Safari
Kerongore
Burumani
Emerach 

Birimoji had a son called Palu who became a teacher and taught at Mbale. Maturi had a son called Vagwanji. Gogo and Basiba were Sirivai's. Babu Safari's. 

There was a time they visited Lunyerere and offered goodies to children around in remembrance. Where their grandfathers lived and worked at.

-: I remember Sidibhai, Tana, Biku, Bangwaji. Given time, I can enquire for the other names

-: Can't wait. For future stories. Of how things were, became and changed. 😊. 

I was shown your place. It was for which Indian initially?
