Since the early 19th century, large-scale Hadhramaut migration has established sizable Hadhrami minorities all around the Indian Ocean,[2] in South Asia, South East Asia and East Africa including Hyderabad,[3][4] Bhatkal, Gangolli, Malabar, Java, Sumatra, Malacca and Singapore.[5]
In Hyderabad, the community is known as Chaush and resides mostly in the neighborhood of Barkas.
Several Indonesian ministers, including former Foreign Minister Ali Alatas and former Finance Minister Mari'e Muhammad are of Hadhrami descent, as is the former Prime Minister of East Timor Marí Alkatiri.
Hadhramis have also settled in large numbers along the East African coast,[6] and two former ministers in Kenya, Shariff Nasser and Najib Balala, are of Hadhrami descent.
