This module begins with the premise that the South Asian diaspora is made up of heterogeneous communities. The module will explore the cultural texts that shape the old and the new Indian diasporic communities as well as their different sub-groups, distinguished by religion, region or gender. South Asian diasporic narratives and cultural practices will be read in terms of experiences of dislocation/ double-consciousness/cultural fusion within the specific contexts of multicultural policies of the hostland.
