This occasional paper argues that Zambians of Indian origin, though considered members of the Zambian population, are constantly engaged in a struggle to get fully accepted as Zambians. Although their role in commerce and industry is appreciated, they are usually not fully welcome as political partners. Indeed, as Lord wrote many years ago, "Asiatics were strangers forcing themselves upon communities reluctant to receive them." The position has hardly changed, forcing Indians in Zambia to respond to developments that threaten their trading and business interests as a pressure group.
