Diaspora, music, and identity
To maintain a unified identity within a local community, people express their association with specific rituals and practices. As a testament to the evolution of cultural ideas and journeys, these rituals and practices serve as an important platform for validating their ethnic identity as well as providing a sense of authenticity to the community. Migration and dislocation are associated with a sense of ruptured identity and an unfulfilled desire…
The Sound of Diaspora
Traditional North-Indian music has played a crucial role in creating a distinct identity for Indians in the Caribbean since the arrival of the first indentured migrants in 1838. The use of socio-cultural and political elements to connect with the homeland is one of the important features of Indo-Caribbean music. ‘Creolisation’ is indisputable in Caribbean music, which was a result of merging Indian music with local Caribbean music, giving rise to…

Negotiating identity in the diaspora
One of the significant ways through which the youth manifest their solidarities and identities in the diaspora is the creation of youth organisations. These organisations although occupy a physical space, transcend borders and forge connections and networks with the homeland and other co-diasporics living across the world. With the example of four South Asian youth organisations and their activities in the United States, this article tries to exa…
Migration, diaspora and development
This study proposes to examine the familial bonds between children settled in the Indian diaspora and the parents who are living in India. It is argued that a close connection is maintained by the first generation diaspora with the homeland, often through the agency of parents. The intensity of visits of children to India is more frequent during the life-time of the parents besides on special familial occasions like marriage, birth, death, religi…
Diaspora and Transnationalism
Diasporic communities have historically maintained—either actively or passively—their ethnonational identities, be it in the case of classical diasporas such as the Jews or Armenians or the case of more modern diasporas such as the Indians or other South Asians. However, the ethnonational identities of diasporic communities have strengthened significantly in recent times as a result of the global forces such as the Internet that created and recre…

From ‘temporary migrants’ to ‘permanent residents
Literature on international migration from India in the past has focused on the formation and development of 'Indian diasporas'; that is, Indians who have moved to various parts of the world and maintain socio-economic, cultural and political lives in India as well as other countries. However, little attention has been paid toward 'temporary migrants' who have migrated to different countries with a temporary visa and in the course of time extende…

Hinduism in the diaspora
For Indian immigrants in foreign lands, religion came to be identified with ethnicity and identity. Hinduisms avatars in the diaspora include both the priestly as well as folk varieties, and also, hybrid, syncretic forms that developed in some parts of the world such as the Caribbean. Though sectarianisms have been transplanted too, non-sectarian, universalisée strains, whose antecedents can be traced back to social reformers like Raja Rammohan R…
