What African empire ruled India?

The African empire that ruled parts of India was the Sultanate of Malindi, which was established by the Swahili people and had influence over the coastal regions of India. However, the most notable African presence in Indian history is the rule of the Siddi dynasty, descendants of African slaves and soldiers, who established their dominance in the region of Janjira on the western coast of India. They held power from the 16th century until the 19th century, contributing to the cultural and political landscape of India during their rule.
