About the Book
The sun never sets on Indian Diaspora. This Diaspora has emerged as one of the leading and largest Diaspora of the world. It has grown from a scattered, marginalised, self containing, isolated overseas commtmity to assume leadership of digital and literary world. From imaginary and weak relationship with India, it has emerged into a web relationship of People of Indian Origin spread all over the world with the country of origin working as a vibrant hub. It is now aggressively supported by a proactive policy of mother country. Though it is relatively nascent, but this confident, mobilized and networked Diaspora has acquired a global identity.
This book attempts to capture the new emerging face of Indian Diaspora all over the world. It has tried to understand and analyze Indian Diaspora to have insights into its distinct civilisational identity. Emphasis has been given to assess its relative strength and weakness in com¬parison to other Diaspora. It dissects and examines the important issues both at thematic and geographical levels. It accounts for the emergence of Indian Diaspora in historical context as well as in the light of new policy formulations and initiatives of the Government of India and that of global organizahons for Diasporic Indians.
