India and its Diaspora

Abstract

The opening up of India’s economy in the early 1990s brought several shifts in its policy approaches. One such definite and visible shift was in India’s approach towards the Indian diaspora. Indians have been migrating since time immemorial. However, the emergence of transnational diaspora communities which had effective participation in the countries of settlement, while at the same time having strong connections with the homeland, was baffling not only for India but in general also for all the countries which had large-scale populations beyond their borders. Although the multiple belongingness of diasporas has its both perils and rewards, very soon they became valuable partners in the developmental processes of their home lands. India was a bit late in realizing this hidden potential. Since the 1990s, New Delhi has adopted a proactive policy to engage with the diaspora which has opened up vast avenues of cooperation.
