Sidis from India , some of them were of slave origin from Africa as far back as Axmed Gurey days and some of them are recent slaves from east Africa and minority of them are Somalis who were recruited as mercenaries in mid 1800s , good example is the Ugaadh Cumar community in Haydarbaad.

While there are many theories to the origins of the Siddis, legend has it that their ancestors perhaps came from Kano in northern Nigeria and settled in India on their return from a Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca. Some believe Siddis may be descendants of Ethiopians, but this assumption is perhaps inaccurate, as researchers believe that Siddis came from various parts of Africa – such as Somalia, Sudan and later Zanzibar – in the 12th century. Moreover, a number of scholars point out ‘Siddi' is a common salutation used in certain areas of North Africa. According to Amy Catlin- Jairazbhoy, a research scholar and visiting associate professor of ethnomusicology at University of California, Los Angeles, "the Siddis are descendants of African slaves, sailors, servants and merchants who remained in India after arriving through the sea trade with East Africa and the Gulf."
