Migration and the Rise of the United States
By bringing together eminent scholars, this book highlights the current scholarship in the field of migration, which tries to present a counter-narrative to the popular anti-immigrant rhetoric and the populist domestic politics of the US. There has been a growing global trend of alternative histories and anthropologies that brings forth the voices from the margins and the developing world. This volume, in that sense, without undermining the US's …
Migration and the Rise of the United States
Over the past 300 years, immigration has run parallel to the United States’ rise, adding a rare and rich dynamism to the nation’s cultural, institutional, idealistic, and material growth. Bringing together eminent scholars, this collection highlights the current scholarship in the field of migration, which tries to present a counter-narrative to the popular anti-immigrant rhetoric and the populist domestic politics of the US. By focusing on voice…
Feminization of Indian Migration
The migration of women or female migration has emerged as an important field of research within the larger domain of migration studies and is being extensively explored under various disciplines. This growing trend can be attributed to some major developments in international migration such as rising numbers of women migrants, growth of women-centric occupations, migration of women in an independent capacity, women-related legislations and growth…
Indentured and Post-Indentured Experiences of Women in the Indian Diaspora
Women, Gender and the Legacy of Slavery and Indenture
India’s Act East Policy and Asean
Over the past few decades, India’s security concerns have undergone a substantial change. With the formulation of the Look East Policy (LEP) in the 1990s, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) as a regional entity became an essential component and a corridor for India’s outreach to Southeast Asia. In 2014, the LEP became more encompassing with a shift to the Act East Policy (AEP). The global security and economic environment too are …
India’s Experience with Remittances
India has been the highest recipient of workers’ remittances for the past several years. Remittances have had a multiplier effect on the Indian economy and have played a crucial role in the economies of several Indian states like Kerala, Goa, Punjab and Gujarat. However, the absence of a coherent policy framework on dealing with these remittances has not only impeded their optimum utilisation but also led to certain negative impacts in India. If …
Role of diasporas in homeland conflicts, conflict resolution, and post-war reconstruction
The case of Sri Lanka and the Tamil diaspora can be cited as a classic case of participation by a diaspora in the homeland conflict and to some extent also in conflict resolution. Influenced by lived experiences of discrimination and suffering in an ethnocentric homeland and a range of racial prejudices and economic deprivation, in the host lands, the diaspora Tamils developed a strong sense of Tamil identity and ethno-nationalism which the LTTE …
Diaspora policies and co-development
This paper discusses the concept of co-development as related to diaspora diplomacy and its implications for public policies for skilled migration in the countries of origin. We consider the cases of two Asian countries – India and China - that stimulate migration as a way to relieve the lack of jobs and skilled population surplus, but which also have strong policies of networking and return. The case of Mexico is different since it is a country …
India and its Diaspora
The opening up of India’s economy in the early 1990s brought several shifts in its policy approaches. One such definite and visible shift was in India’s approach towards the Indian diaspora. Indians have been migrating since time immemorial. However, the emergence of transnational diaspora communities which had effective participation in the countries of settlement, while at the same time having strong connections with the homeland, was baffling …
Migration of Students from India and China
India and China send out the largest number of students for education abroad. To amplify the point, between the years 2000 and 2014, the number of students going out from China increased about twelve times, while it increased about four times from India. This outflow has become a major source of brain and capital drain for both countries. Although, both Push and Pull factors contribute to this massive exodus, each country has adopted separate str…
Bose, beyond the ‘Mystery’
Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose has featured prominently in the news—and hence the public consciousness—only from time to time. As was often the case earlier, the recent prominence he has been given has
The role of Indian Diaspora in the development of the Indian IT industry
Diasporas have emerged as one of the agents of development in today’s world. India’s experience with the IT industry can be cited as one of the best instances of Diasporainduced development. The Indian Diaspora has shared a symbiotic relationship with the Indian IT industry, where both have reinforced each other’s quantitative and qualitative growth over the decades. On the one hand, the Indian Diaspora brought a multi-layered gain to the IT indu…
Indians in Southeast Asia
The Indian presence in Southeast Asia is set deep down in history. There are innumerable accounts of traders, preachers and adventurers who ventured into the high seas and influenced the eastern part of the world, to the extent of ‘Indianizing’ it socially, culturally, religiously and in many other ways. However, it was during the colonial period that government sponsored migrations in the form of labourers, officials and service providers starte…
