520			_aIndia's relationship with East Africa, 1890-1939, is essentially a study of race relations within the British Empire. There are three distinct peoples and cultures to be considered: Indian, African, and British. The focus is on East Africa where the interaction between the three was most intense. East Africa became a test case not only for Britain's success in building a harmonious Empire- Commonwealth, but also for India's aspiration to settle its surplus population in peaceful communities overseas. The result was a disappointment to both Britain and India. Britain's administration of East Africa greatly augmented nationalism in India and contributed to the eventual fragmentation of the Empire. India's hopes for a viable colony in East Africa never materialized, and the basis was formed there for a subsequent estrangement between Indians and Africans.
