South Asia Migrations

This series is about Global Indian Diaspora and explores transformative experiences of those who migrated or travelled overseas, and the memories of those who did not return and chose to stay in their respective host countries. These communities of South Asians abroad struggled to adapt to their new situations, standardizing the languages spoken, and preserving some cultural traditions and folk traditions, whilst discarding others (notably many of the distinctions of caste). In short, forging for themselves entirely new identities as ‘diasporic Indians’.
