Call for Papers
As the guest editor of the journal Man in India: An International Journal
of Anthropology, Vol. 93 No 3 (Sept 2013) I am seeking articles and papers
on the following broad theme: 'Social and Cultural World of the Indian
Diaspora'. The papers and articles need not address the issues in a direct
way. Scholars are encouraged to look at what issues seem to be of greater
significance in their particular research locations vis à vis the Indian
diaspora. To assist scholars with some perspective on possibilities, I
have outlined below a set of subtopics that might be of interest. They are
not limitations, but indications for possibilities. The deadline for
submission of papers is 30 June with a possible maximum extension up to 15
July 2013. I have enclosed the instructions to authors at the end of this
announcement. These are guidelines determined by the journal editorial
board. For more information on the journal please visit the website at--
http://www.serialspublications.com/ and type 'Man in India' in the search
facility and you will be taken to the location of the journal. I look
forward to your involvement in this exciting project. Please email all
correspondence in this regard to me at : penumalak@yahoo.com Completed
papers and articles should also be sent to my email address.

Social and Cultural World of the Indian Diaspora
In many countries, Indian community is in existence for over one and a
half centuries (e.g., Malaysia, Singapore, West Indian Islands, East
Africa and South Africa) while in other places they are at least into the
second generation (e.g., UK, Continental Europe, USA and Australia). It
would be useful to understand how the social worlds of these immigrant
groups have evolved and what issues are of significance to these
communities in their countries. It would be also useful to understand how
their orientation to the land of their origins may have changed. For
instance, do they continue to think of the land of their origins as their
homeland or has their present location become their homeland? Is there a
difference between the relatively newer immigrants and the 5th or 6th
generation Indians in their association to their land of origins? Such and
other questions can be discussed. Possible areas of discussion could
include—caste, religion, migration, global networks, economic relations,
citizenship, ethnic and other identity issues in relation to the place of
their domesticity. Also of significance is to understand the phenomenon of
multiple migrations (e.g., remigration of Indians from East Africa to
Brtian and USA, or Indians from Trinidad and Tobago to Canada and USA or
Europe), and how such remigrations have influenced their sense of
identity.
