message: He wasn't a Muslim priest. (Strictly speaking there is no such thing) He wasn't even a Islamic scholar. He was a Muslim who studied the Bible, and Christianity.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.222.6.200 (talk) 14:18, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually he was a mullah, a selected person in a mosque to study religion and call persons to prayer or religious service on Friday service or the Muslim holy days. Islam doesn't have priests not reserved for certain people and doesn't have monasteries either, but has Islamic religious schools and everyone is eligible to be mullahs with the right knowledge to perform any level of religious service. + 71.102.53.48 (talk) 00:22, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  uncited claims of ethnicity 

message: What exactly do Indian South Africans vote for?? You don't seem to believe it's former "white" parties. Let me show you an example:
:KwaDukuza municipality
::Ethnic breakdown is: 73% Black, 21% Indian (Asian), 5% White and 1% other. 
::2004 elections: ANC+IFP combined 80%, DA 14%, Minority Front 1%, etc. I can understand that some Indians vote ANC, but the majority? 5% of KwaDukuza is white, yet 14% of the votes are to the DA? lets take another example:
:uMgeni municipality
::Ethnic: 74% Black, 19% white, 5% asian
::2004 elections: ANC+IFP+ACDP 74%, DA 21%, NNP 1%
:uMdoni municipality
::Ethnic: 69% Black, 10% white, 20% asian
::2004 elections: ANC+IFP+ACDP 72%, DA 16%, Minority front 8%, NNP 1%
:eThekwini municipality
::Ethnic: 68% Black, 8% white, 19% asian, 2.8%
::2009 elections: ANC+IFP+COPE+ACDP 77.6%, DA 18%, Minority front 2.5%
:::As you can see in this RECENT election, how can the DA receive 18% of the votes when only 8% of the municip is white?

thread_title:  Politics 

message: I have started expanding this section, however there is an enormous amount that can be done.
Examples of additional information that can be added:
*Gandhi and the formation of Indian civil rights groups and its effects in uniting passenger and formerly indentured Indians
*Immigration restrictions
*Indian influence on Islam in South Africa. Islam in South Africa has been shaped by various rivalries between Indian ethnic groups (Grey Street and West Street Mosques), and there are also differences between Cape Muslim culture and that of the rest in South Africa.
*Hinduism in South Africa
*Christianity amongst Indians (conversions).
*Indian townships and "slums" (Magazine Barracks, Fietas, etc).
*Indian relationships with other population groups. Durban Riot, etc
I would also appreciate assistance in cleaning up refs, etc to links that I have added.

thread_title: Indian history

message: The history section of the article talks about SA Indians today in the context of their politics, but there is a lot that can be written about their post-apartheid economic advancement and their movement into formerly white areas. There may also be source material on the movement of Indians from KwaZulu-Natal to places like Midrand in search of economic opportunity (something like this). If such material exists, it would broaden the scope of the article.Park3r (talk) 18:31, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: This file is completely useless. The chloropleth map should only include values within the actual range of Indians per region! Coloring every single territory the same makes no sense and tells us absolutely nothing besides the fact that there is at least one Indian living in each of the areas, and none of the regions are a hundred percent Asian.
