NRI Stands for Non-Residential Indians. Breaking apart from the vast population of India, which exceeds 1.1 billion people, there are a millions more living abroad. Every 5th person on earth an Indian. And many of them actually don’t reside in their homeland.
To recognize more about the Indian Diaspora, we need to first understand the real meaning of Diaspora. A Diaspora can be defined as a community of people in another country, with origins elsewhere. An example of the first Diaspora is of the Jewish. A root of a person’s heritage comes from dispersion of the people to an adopted country.
A few diverse sites I think would explain the Indian Diaspora more clearly are listed below.
This website is a concise and informative website which establishes the role of the Indian community in foreign countries. The website serves as an online society for all the NRI’s who have a piece of their homeland in their hearts. Indians abroad speaks about social awareness, personal development, jobs and occupations abroad and in general about the Indian entertainment industry. Having read through the main aim of the editor and a few of the articles on the website, it is a great source of knowledge, tips on how to live abroad and how to keep in touch with your roots.
Being a media student, discussing the Indian entertainment and media industry is crucial and imperative. The Republic of Brown is a great source of information on how the Indian entertainment industry is affecting the western and even global entertainment industries. The editor explains,” Indians have taken things up a notch in the entertainment and lifestyle scene creating hip fashion, cutting-edge music, entertaining films, powerful literature and so much more. The world has taken notice. And this is only the beginning”. Indeed it is.
This is a website which provides all the information an NRI needs to know about living abroad. It is complete with a full section on international worship spots, business and occupational help and forums for the NRI’s. It is not a very well constructed website, but the information they provide is valuable.
My personal experience with my Diaspora in Dubai is a very pleasant one. We have a rather large Indian Diaspora in Dubai and it gives me a sense of compassion and community. The best part about it is that it is big enough to make me feel secure in Dubai, and smaller societies make it small enough to know almost everyone.
Great websites with this great community. I think that the Indian culture has many traditions and customs that any Indian can be recognized from. Also, you have some fragmental and grammatical mistakes.
ReplyDeleteI think you should have brought a definition for the word diaspora from a trusted resource, or if you want to define it be more clear.
