Description
Transnational Migrations: The Indian Diaspora explores the experiences of India's 20 million-strong diaspora community, examining the complexities of their transnational lives. This book delves into various aspects of the Indian middle class abroad, including post-9/11 challenges, ethnicity in the USA, cultural identity versus national identity, and gender issues within diaspora communities.
The authors argue that Indian middle classes possess a unique set of advantages, including skills, mobility, cultural rootedness, and an ethic of hard work. By studying these factors, this book sheds light on the intricate dynamics of the Indian diaspora and its place in the global community.
