N2  - The global Indian Diaspora today, plays a significant role in the  socio-economic and political spheres of the host countries. The place that they have created for themselves in their host countries testifies to their resilience and remarkable capacity to adopt and adapt. To assess the success of the global Indian diaspora and to explore and evaluate its response to its land of origin, an international seminar was organized by Post Graduate Diploma in Communicative English, Hemchandracharya North Gujarat University, Patan. The proceedings of the seminar have been published in the form of two books.
The present book deals with the writings emanating from the Indian Diaspora or those about the Indian Diaspora. The theoretical categories of homeland, culture, caste, language, ethnicity are applied to various texts from or about the early diaspora to texts written by the cyber diaspora. The genres vary from travel narrative to those written in the mother tongue of the respective diaspora. The diaspora spaces from which the texts have been picked up span the entire globe.
