Volume: 2 Issue: 1 2012

Abstract:

Indian diaspora with its own complexities possesses a dynamics of its own. It is always in a state of re-opening and this constantly reinvigorates the icons from the native space. At times this revisiting is unsavoury and uncharitable, nevertheless, this reopening only adds to the credits of the Indian diaspora. The diaspora-Gandhi link also ensures that Indian diaspora has not forgotten or is still not free from the hold of national icons. The kind of engagement that diaspora has with Gandhi makes it imperative for India to incorporate its views in Gandhian studies. It is another window to Gandhi for us to understand him afresh. The project thus does not end at simply acknowledging the relation of the diaspora with the native land but also proves that his relation sensitises the readers back home
