Pune & Hyderabad Alumnus, Somalia Deputy PM Wows With Fluent Hindi — Who Is Salah Ahmed Jama?
Salah Ahmed Jama, Deputy Prime Minister of Somalia, made headlines recently when he spoke fluent Hindi during an interview in Davos with a journalist. The clip of him speaking Hindi has since gone viral and prompted widespread reactions.
During the interview, journalist Rajdeep Sardesai introduces the Somalian leader, who greets him with, “Namaste (Hello)" which catches Sardesai by surprise. The journalist exclaims, “Aree waah! Hindi mein? (Wow! In Hindi?)."
Jama replies, “Haan, Hindi mein baat karenge (Yes, we will speak in Hindi)," to which Sardesai responds, “Aapki Hindi toh bahut acchi hai (Your Hindi is very good)."
Jama adds, “Humara desh aur India ke purane sambandh hai (Our country has longstanding relations with India)." When asked where he learned Hindi, Jama explains, “Hindustan mein hi. Hum Pune mein rahe aur Hyderabad mein rahe hai. Delhi mein bhi rahe hai. Humari zindagi ke sabse behtareen din humne India mein guzare hai (In India itself. I have lived in Pune, Hyderabad and also in Delhi. The best days of our lives were spent in India)."
Deputy PM On Somalia-India Ties
During the interview, he also spoke about the longstanding educational and historical ties between Somalia and India. He pointed out that even the Somali President has studied at Indian institutions. Jama further reflected on Somalia's resilience since the 1990s and its ongoing initiatives to build strategic partnerships with countries like India.
Not only this, Jama also expressed his fondness for Indian culture and cuisine as he mentioned that dal makhani as his one of the favourite dishes.
How Salah Ahmed Jama's Hindi Won Hearts
International Affairs Analyst Abdikarin Dahir shared an excerpt from the interview and wrote, “An Indian television channel interviewed the deputy Prime Minister of Somalia, and guess what happened. The interviewer was shocked because the Prime Minister spoke perfect Indian [Hindi]." He further added, “Indian people are known for their deep hospitality, kindness, and respect for guests."
A social media account named VS commented in detail: “That's the beauty of a great country called Bharat [India]. Somalis are often ill-treated worldwide, regardless of how educated, dignified, or civilised they are. They are marginalized and mocked, not just by anyone, but even by the so-called saviors of humanity in the Western world. Bharat [India] has provided them a platform to thrive, gain wisdom, and explore the world without worrying about their social background. We can witness the confidence of this person making a statement: one can go and ask any professors in Bharat's [India's] universities about the average IQ levels of Somalis. Feel proud about being a Bharatian [Indian]."
Ex-journalist Mussarat Zia also remarked, “This is such chaste Hindi he is speaking. Brilliant" (His Hindi is very pure and flawless. Brilliant).
Meanwhile, a user named Nishant Tripathi pointed out, “Just a bit of a correction. Its Perfect Hindi. There is no language named “Indian"."
More About Sala Ahmed Jama
Salah Ahmed Jama was born in Somalia in 1980. From a young age, he showed an interest in learning and exploring new cultures which later shaped his global outlook.
Before moving to Canada, Jama spent part of his formative years in India where he lived in cities such as Pune, Hyderabad and Delhi. During this period, he developed fluency in Hindi and Urdu and gained a deep appreciation for Indian culture.
After leaving India, Jama moved to Canada to pursue higher education. He earned both a bachelor's and a master's degree in Political Science and Development Studies from Carleton University in Ottawa. Following his studies, he worked as a teacher and research assistant.
His academic work includes co-authoring research focused on Afro-optimism and the development challenges faced by fragile states.
In the 2000s, he returned to Somalia and began a career in public service. He played an important role in electoral reforms and in strengthening democratic institutions across the country. Over time, he served as Minister of Labour and later as Minister of Constitutional Affairs. He led initiatives such as civil service reforms, social safety programs and the constitutional review process.
On 2 August 2022, Jama was appointed Deputy Prime Minister of Somalia. In this role, he manages several critical portfolios which included economic development, climate change response, enforcement of the rule of law, inclusive politics and stabilisation efforts in regions recently recovered from extremist groups.
