This article explores the way in which a specific immigrant group – Indians outside India – utilizes the dwelling space offered by the synthesis of real spaces and virtual spaces to create a unique immigrant identity. The argument is offered that the combination of the real and the virtual produces a cybernetic space where the immigrant identity can thrive without being controlled within the increasing anti-immigrant sentiments of the real world. Using illustrations from internet discourse it is demonstrated that cybernetic space offers a ‘safe’ alternative living space where the marginalized immigrant can find a voice
