In August 1972, tens of thousands of Asians were given 90 days to leave Uganda by then President Idi Amin.
Maz Mashru was born in eastern Uganda and was a photographer for a newspaper in the country.
He was sent to the UK with just £55 ($67) to look after him and his family.
Maz told us about his experience and like many Indians, he settled in Leicester, England.
