one time i called an indian man and he then advised me that it is derogatory will try get the reasoning from him but it bordered around the indian comunity being "cool" to the blacks before independence hence cool turned into mkula. hope that helps

Of course it is derogatory. It comes from "coolie". There is an alternative and WIDELY used word "amandiya".

I don't see anything derogatory about that "ikula" in my opinion is an acceptable Xhosa word for an Indian person
