I watched this decumentary made about Idi Amin's ruling regime in Uganda back then, forcing Indians to leave Uganda and back to their countries, did these Indians went back to Uganda?.

There were basically three types of people (Indians) Traders, employees and Industrialists.
Traders and Employees never went back to Uganda, they did not have much to lose as such, only their properties etc, if they had any, but if they did go back it was only to try and sell them and run back to where ever they had gone.
The Industrialists were few but they generally controlled the big bussiness and had a lot of factories and properties and the Goverment had no experience in running them, so these Indians went back, and got possession back and started running them, but only difference was that they did not bring their families along, only males who were to run the companies and then trained managers who looked after them. These owners shunted between Uganda and their new adopted Country.

No, most of them settled in Great Britain as they had commonwealth passports.
Uganda never recovered from their loss as the Indians were the business class and were irreplaceable in such a fragile economy.
The corruption of the Idi Amin government and the lack of ability the native Ugandans meant that Uganda's economy went into rapid decline from which it may never recover.

most moved to the U.K. some to neighboring countries.
nowadays, original Indians from Uganda doesn't want to go back there,they like the U.K. so they open businesses there, and are 'importing' Indians from India as cheap laborers to work for them in Uganda.
