    BIBLIOGRAPH Y A Hand-book on Diaspora and Transnationalism FIRST EDITION April 2013 Compiled By Monika Bisht Rakesh Ranjan Sadananda Sahoo Draft Copy for Reader’s Comments Global Research Forum on Diaspora and Transnationalism www.grfdt.org Bibleography Preface Large scale international mobility of the people since colonial times has been one of the most important historical phenomenon in the human history. This has impacted upon the social, cultural, political and economic landscape of the entire globe. Though academic interest goes back little early, the phenomenon got the world wide attention as late as 1990s. We have witnessed more proactive engagement of various organizations at national and international level such as UN bodies. There was also growing research interest in the areas. Large number of institutions got engaged in research on diaspora-international migration-refugee-transnationalism. Wide range of research and publications in these areas gave a new thrust to the entire issue and hence advancing further research. The recent emphasis on diaspora’s development role further accentuated the attention of policy makers towards diaspora. The most underemphasized perhaps, the role of diaspora and transnational actors in the overall development process through capacity building, resource mobilization, knowledge sharing etc. are growing areas of development debate in national as well as international forums. There have been policy initiatives at both national and international level to engage diaspora more meaningfully since last one decade. There is a need for more wholistic understanding of the enrite phenomena to facilitate researchers and stakeholders engaged in the various issues related to diaspora and transnationalism. Similarly, we find the areas such as social, political and cultural vis a vis diaspora also attracting more interest in recent times as forces of globalization intensified in multi direction.

  • A Case Study of the Indian Diaspora in Thailand by Ruchi Agarwal
    Journal of www.cesran.org Journal of Global Analysis Global Analysis Vol. 8 | No. 2 2018 Summer Issue Breaking the Links? A Case study of the Indian Diaspora in Thailand By Ruchi Agarwal Abstract Thailand has long been a destination for South Asian migrants as well as a second home for Indian Diaspora. Recent migrations such as the post-partition period have been relatively understudied, however. In this paper, I focus upon the migration of Indian community to Thailand in the late 1940s to understand how recent arrivals influenced and integrated into existing transnational communities. I am specifically interested in the trajectories of individual migrants and the public representation and organization of Thailand’s evolving Indian diasporic community. A historical linkage lies between South and Southeast Asia and as a result, the Indians moving to Southeast Asia are not entirely ‘foreigners’. This paper explores the trajectories of the more recent Indian diasporic community in an attempt to analyze the aspirations of the newer migrants and their social life outside of the homeland. The findings in this paper are based on past literature, personal observations, and interviews with Indians residing in Ruchi Agarwal is Bangkok.

Global A Case study of the Analysis Indian Diaspora in Thailand Introduction The Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (2009)1 estimated that the total overseas Indian community constitutes over 25 million spread across different parts of the world. Such large numbers are a result of the different waves of migration beginning in 1830s in the form of indentured labour followed by the voluntary migrations of professionals and information technology specialists in the last three decades of the 20th century.

  • A Sense of Nana's Globalization
    International (Humanities, Social Sciences and Arts) Veridian E-Journal, Silpakorn University Volume 11 Number 4 January-June 2018 ISSN 1906 – 3431 A sense of Nana’s globalization Prisana Munpao (ปริศนา มั่นเภา)* Abstract The Nana precinct in Bangkok is the area of lower Sukhumvit concentrating between the 3 rdand the 11th of Sukhumvit’s north side, and 4th to 8th of the south side. The Nana enclave represents the best of Bangkok in that it exudes a global and cosmopolitan vibe enhancing a city that is an inclusive society, open and tolerate to vast cultural difference. These characteristics drew people into Bangkok leading to parts of the city becoming very congested comprising an Indians community that moved into the Nana enclave after road completion in 1950. The local population are Thai, Burmese, Thai-Lao and Indians. These groups have maintained their cultural heritage from their ancestors such as in costumes, languages and food. Tourists include western visitors, wealthy Thais, Middle Easterners, and more lately ASEAN tourists. Subsequently, the precinct can be interpreted in terms of (1) commoditization such as selling products and services – souvenirs, food and drink, medicine, street markets and living accommodations, (2) medical tourism through Bumrungrad International hospital and (3) globalization expression such as costumes, food, multi-languages, and hotels.

  • Burma As ‘Corridor’: a Case of South Asian Descendants’ Community in Northern Thailand1) Mineo Takada
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE Burma as ‘Corridor’: A Case of South Asian Descendants’ Community in Northern Thailand1) Mineo Takada This paper highlights the location of Burma (Myanmar) and reconsiders its geographical territory and its historical position. There were and are a lot of studies of Burma/Myanmar. Most of the studies were on the Burma itself or on those people living in Burma. On the other hand, Burma situ- ated at the meeting point of South Asia and Southeast Asia. In other words, Burma holds a position of the node or corridor which connecting these two regions. This paper tries to focus on Burma as ‘corridor’, by considering a case of South Asian migrant groups in Thailand, a Bangladeshi (or Eastern Bengal) Muslim descendants’ community in northern Thailand. 1. South Asia and Southeast Asia: Continuity and disjuncture At first, it should be pointed out that there seem several reasons for having not paying attention to the continuity between South Asia and Southeast Asia. Firstly, we must think about the very existence of nation states and its bor- ders. We, those who accustom with the nation states and its borders, are tented to presuppose the framework of those ones. Van SCENDEL (2005:4– 5) pointed out this tendency clearly and critically, and suggested the difficulty to avoid its grip as ‘territorial trap’. Needless to say, there are two borders, India/Bangadesh-Myanmar border and Myanmar- Thailand border, between South Asia and Thailand. In addition to these, there lays down a vast geo- graphical space of Myanmar between these two regions.

  • Subhas Chandra Bose and the Indian National Army: Renegades Or Liberators?
    • First published by World War 11 Investigator, Vol. 1 No. 4, July 1988 17 Subhas Chandra Bose and the Indian National Army: Renegades or Liberators? he rain poured down as if it would never stop. Visibility was down to twenty T yards. The group of Indian officers and men of the 1114 Punjab Regiment, with their wounded British battalion commander, Lt-Col. L.V. Fitzpatrick, peered through the driving gusts. On 11 December 1941, the Japanese blitzkrieg had torn through their defences and scattered them into the sodden jungle of northern Malaya. After four nights without sleep they were at the end of their tether, starving, exhausted, soaked in tropical mud. They had hoped to break through the Japanese to their own lines, but a report had come through that the enemy was now well to the south. Two figures came towards them through the rain, one in Japanese uniform. He was Major Iwaichi Fujiwara, and he was not unexpected. One of Fitzpatrick's Sikh captains, Mohan Slngh, had already decided that surrender was the best option, and he had contacted a fellow Sikh, Giani Pritam Singh, whose presence on the Thai­ Burma border was known to him. Pritam Singh was a leader of the Independent League of India, an organisation of Indians in Thailand sworn to rid the sub­ continent of British rule. The movement had roots in the revolutionary Ghadr organisation of Indian rebels which helped the German cause in the First World War and had been instrumental in fomenting a mutiny among Indian troops in Singapore in 1916.

    ThaiThai -- CambodianCambodian CultureCulture RelationshipRelationship thrthroughough ArtsArts Mrs Charuwan Phungtian HAN DD ET U 'S B B O RY eOK LIBRA E-mail: [email protected] Web site: www.buddhanet.net Buddha Dharma Education Association Inc. 2 3 4 Preface I got the inspiration to take up this thesis “Thai- Cambodian Culture relationship through arts” at the time I used to work in the camp with the S.E.A. refugees to resettle their lives in America. I worked with the “Consortium” organization under the administrative of UNHCR. The camp was at Phanat Nikhom, Chonburi, Thailand. I had good social relationship with all of my refugee students in the camp with all clans, tribes and countries. Especially for the Khmers, I learnt Khmer language and Khmer dance. I was fascinated with their arts so much. Apart from this, I took my Ph.D. topic from one part of my previous M.A. thesis “Some aspect of Buddhist arts in Thailand”. Its chapter “Lopburi art” helped me very much to make further studies on details of my present work on this Ph.D. thesis. I am proud of my work and give very much gratitude and my thanks to many persons. I must express my thanks and my gratitude to my re- spected supervisor Professor Dr. Sahai Sachchidanand, Head of the Department of Ancient Indian and Asian Studies, Magadh University, Bodh-Gaya, Bihar (India) who very kindly allowed me to take up this thesis. Besides, he with full attention pours out his scholarship and his knowledge and gave me the benefit of many sug- gestions for my Ph.D.
