Arya Samaj were initially established during British colonial rule when there was a large influx of Indian migrants into East Africa, but had to adapt with changing conditions. There were mass migration of Indians out of East Africa following independence but the Samaj has maintained its presence in East Africa. At present the Samaj makes valuable contribution to uplift the condition of the African people.

Famous quotes containing the words future, east and/or africa:
“I am not naturally ... “A bag of wind”; yet ... I mean deliberately and decidedly “to cut” in future all my old ideas on this head. I don’t think modesty “pays.” It is a good quality in a family, it is a domestic virtue, it makes a home happy after you have got a home, but it is not potent in getting homes. It is not a money-maker, neither is it lucky in gaining a reputation. I am of the impression that gaseous bodies do better.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“I’ th’ East my pleasure lies.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“There has never been in history another such culture as the Western civilization M a culture which has practiced the belief that the physical and social environment of man is subject to rational manipulation and that history is subject to the will and action of man; whereas central to the traditional cultures of the rivals of Western civilization, those of Africa and Asia, is a belief that it is environment that dominates man.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
