| Synopsis: |
Patterns of international migration have produced complex transnational networks that directly link towns and villages in India to people and places abroad. Although the Government of India has forged a strong relationship with Overseas Indians, the ties that migrants and diasporic groups maintain with their home country is not primarily with the Indian nation-state but with their native villages or towns.This book explores varying patterns of mobility, transnational ties, and flows of migrant resources to India. The transnational connection, and the diverse ways in which migrant and diasporic groups engage with their home regions, have myriad implications for the processes of change - are analysed in this book under the description `provincial globalisation'. Based on original ethnographic fieldwork, the case studies presented map the diversity of this expanding and fluctuating transnational social field, and the resources that move through it, by documenting migrant engagements in four regions of India known for high levels of international migration - central Gujarat, coastal Andhra, coastal Karnataka, and the Doaba in Punjab. Analysing the movements, modalities, destinations, and outcomes of various material and immaterial resources that are sent by migrants to their regions of origin, the book presents new empirical data and develops theoretical insights into the consequences of international migration and the influences of the diaspora within India at a regional scale. It will be of interest to academics studying anthropology, geography, transnational and diaspora studies as it develops a fresh perspective on the connections between transnational migration and processes of development in contemporary India. |
