Dr Vali Jamal from Kampala, Uganda, is sharing this article from his anticipated book on Uganda Asians. It’s about a Uganda African who came to Canada with the expulsion. Pyaralli Virani, the subject of the heart-warming story, was well-known in Kampala and Vancouver, but not much is known about how he became Ismaili and how he came to Canada. Dr Jamal has been able to piece that story together for his book.

I was moved by this beautiful article about Pyarali, I remember well, his precence in Kampala Jamat, and his fluent command of the Gugerati language.
I vaguely recall another African by the name of Ali, he used to wear a red Fez, and was an assistant Jamatbhai, Not much is known about him,
