Expulsion of Asians in Uganda in 1972 →
Expulsion of Asians from Uganda — "From" is the correct preoposition, and the year doesn't need to be in the article title.

The article says 20 000 were unacounted for. Does this imply that they died? I believe there were at least rumors of deaths. Rmhermen ( talk) 21:38, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
The title of this article should be corrected to reflect what REALLY happened.Idi Amin specifically targeted people of INDIAN ethnic origin.He did NOT expel Arabs, Chinese, Pakistantis, Sri Lankans, Vietnames, Kazakhs, Turks, or other Asians. He did not even expel other SOUTH Asians - he ONLY expelled people whose ancestors came from INDIA.
The best title would be Expulion of Indo-Ugandans by Idi Amin. The next-best title would be Expulsion of South Asians from Uganda.
Nota Bene: At the same time Amin expelled Indo-Ugandans, he promoted Muslim immigration from Pakistan. This clearly was a political rather than ethno-cultural move. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:645:8000:FAB0:ADE5:8D9:31E5:E0D9 ( talk) 04:32, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
Calling people "Asian" is shorthand for Indian subcontinent in British English, as such the common phrase for the event is Asian, especially given how the people expelled may have moved under the British Raj, and so never existed under Indian or Pakistani rule ~~ Kind Regards, NotAnotherNameGuy ( talk) 19:52, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
The title of the article uses "Asians", and there's a couple sentences in the article that hint at South Asians/citizens of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh being included... but the entire rest of the article is specifically about Indians being expelled. Even the opening sentence says "Indian minority" with no mention of other cultures. A prominent explanatory sentence on this is sorely needed. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 18:04, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
