ABSTRACTThe article critically examines the two population estimates (i.e. 2000 and 2018) of overseas Indians/Indian diaspora. Both estimates were released by the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India, and appear to be definitive documents on the subject. It also presents the global/regional distribution of the contemporary Indian diaspora apart from a brief account of the historiography of the population estimates of overseas Indians/Indian diaspora since India’s independence. Finally, a critique is also made of the latest diaspora population estimates and a new diaspora category of students suggested in the 15th Report of the Parliamentary Committee on External Affairs on ‘Welfare of Indian Diaspora: Policies/Schemes’ pertaining to the Ministry of External Affairs.KEYWORDS: Indian diasporaoverseas Indianspopulation estimates PIOsNRIsIndian students abroad Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsPrakash C.

摘要本文批判性地考察了海外印度人/印度侨民的两次人口估计(即2000年和2018年)。这两项估计都是由印度政府外交部公布的,似乎是关于这个问题的决定性文件。除了简要介绍自印度独立以来海外印度人/印度侨民的人口估计的历史记录外,它还介绍了当代印度侨民的全球/地区分布。最后,还对最新的散居人口估计和议会对外事务委员会关于“印度散居人口福利:政策/计划”的第15次报告中建议的新散居学生类别进行了批评。关键词:海外印度侨民印度人口估计piosni印度留学生披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。prakash C.

How is cross-cultural communication around music in the British Asian diaspora shaped by the Partition of 1947? This article will discuss this question through a case study of the writings and relationships of four key South Asian music enthusiasts: one female patron of music, and three male scholar-researchers of music who befriended each other, and in the process redefined rāgadārī (classical) music publics in Britain, beginning in the 1970s and 80s. Through a discussion of their life-stories and narratives I reveal the importance of (i) storytelling and memory in the creation of diasporic homemaking, (ii) a gendered politics of musical commemoration, (iii) the anecdote as ‘musical gift’ (qua Sykes), and (iv) postcolonial cultural custodianship, in producing a unique rāgadārī musical public in London, across the Indo-Pak national border.

ABSTRACTA little History of the Sikhs is a London-based initiative that explores traces of Sikh history found within the museums, memorials, parks, and streets of London. Through walking tours, they work to introduce their audiences to the shared history of the Sikhs and Britain and touch upon critical moments in the making of British Asian history, such as Partition. In this interview with the Migrant Memory and the Postcolonial Imagination project team, Rav Singh, founder of A little History of the Sikhs, will discuss the role of urban space in London in the preservation of cultural memory, reflect on participants’ engagement with the tours and the significance of preserving and transmitting memories of empire, Partition, and migration in the diaspora.KEYWORDS: SikhsLondonRav SinghAnglo-SikhAnglo-Punjab Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Randhawa K.S (The Tribune, Sunday 13 January 2002).

Already exposed to different socio-economic vulnerabilities across the globe, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic accentuated the challenges faced by migrant workers. In this context, migrants working in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries are no exception. This study attempts to examine the economic and psychological impact of COVID-19 on highly-skilled Indian migrants working in Saudi Arabia. Based on a survey of 335 highly skilled Indian migrant workers, the paper underlines that more than half of them faced financial issues, salary reductions, cuts in employment benefits, reduction in saving levels and a decline in remittance flow. The Correlation test was conducted to assess the psychological impact of covid-19 on migrants. A significant relationship was found between the migrants’ perception towards government policies and mental health. Based on the findings, the paper underlines the need for favourable government policies to overcome the problems faced by highly-skilled Indian migrants in the Gulf region.
