They are not Indians, though there are a small part of the Waswahili people that have Indian heritage. However, the Waswahili people are purely a mix of the people from a region in Ethiopia called Barawe who intermarried with Arabs from Yemen, Oman and Saudia.
That is why Kiswahili, as a language and culture, spread along the coastal towns and areas from Kismayu (formerly Ismailu), Mombasa, Pemba, Zanzibar, Pate, Siyu, Vanga, Pate, Comoros all the way to Nothern Mozambique - all thanks to Arabs trading activities.
