Centre for Study of Indian Diaspora, University of Hyderabad is organising an international conference on Indian diaspora. Rationale of this conference is to read the Indian diaspora as a dynamic construct (s) which has undergone/undergoing through several processes of transformations rather than essentialised static communities. Deliberations during the conference will try to map the trajectories of these transformations in certain interlinked essential domains of diasporic lives – cultural, social, economic and political. This conference intends to approach the transformations from a historical vantage point in the locations of old Indian Diaspora – Mauritius, Fiji, South Africa, Trinidad, Guiana, Suriname, East Africa, and Southeast Asia (and many more) and will ascertain how (and to what extent) the process of decolonisation/ independence has determined such transformations in these locations. The two critical reference points for tracing the transformations would be – first, independence/decolonisation in 1960s and 1970s and second, globalisation in last two decades.
