Global Indian Diaspora

This book studies the rise of Indian diaspora communities throughout the world. It discusses both international and domestic forces that have shaped and influenced the growth and status of these communities. The chapters trace the diverse global historical experiences of such communities over the years and analyse the impact of the drastically changing status of India and its diaspora policy. The volume features essays on Indian diasporas in various countries including Ethiopia, Uganda, France, Malaysia, Indonesia, Kenya, as well as in Europe. It situates them within India’s Vision 2030 plans and looks at long term foreign policy options for sustainable engagement and bilateral opportunities. Compelling and topical, this book will be indispensable for students and researchers of diaspora studies, migration studies, politics and international relations, globalisation, sociology, foreign policy, citizenship, and South Asian studies.
