With the Indian Diaspora now numbering around 28 million and having a significant presence in nearly every part of the world, it has cultivated a distinct identity that stands in contrast to other major diasporas like the Chinese and the Armenians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book highlights how the relationship of diasporic Indians with their homeland has deepened, aided by advances in communication technologies. Simultaneously, the Indian government has actively encouraged these linkages, fostering stronger ties between the diaspora and India in various ways. This volume will be of great interest to sociologists, as well as scholars in anthropology, political science, geography, history, literary, ethnic, and migration studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book brings together an array of experts who provide a comprehensive view of the Indian Diaspora through various lenses, covering topics such as marriage patterns, citizenship, religion, politics, transnationality, identity formation, and more. The contributions offer rich insights into the ways the diaspora shapes and is shaped by cultural, social, and political forces, offering valuable perspectives for anyone studying migration and global Indian communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContributors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e by Ajaya K.
