Impact Narratives in Indian English Diaspora

Abstract

Diaspora a word derived from Greek, meaning "scattering, dispersion" is the movement or migration of a group of people, such as those sharing a national and/or ethnic identity, away from an established or ancestral homeland. The first recorded usage of the word Diaspora in the English language was in 1876, later it became more widely assimilated into English by the mid 1950s, with long-term expatriates in significant numbers from other particular countries or regions also being referred to as a Diaspora. An academic field, Diaspora studies, has become established relating to this sense of the word. Most of the traditional values and cross-cultural arts, literature is being incorporated in the writings.
