Research Abstract

Main aims of this project is to explore migration process, its causes, connection with native place, social mobility, generation gape in various aspects and social life of Indian migrants in the Commonwealth countries.
It covers more than one thousand sample households from London (Southall and Brent), Leicester, Bladford in the U. K., Dar es Salaam in Tanzania and Toronto in Canada.
Most of Indian migrants in these countries came from the North-Western parts of India, the Panjab and Gujarat, by various reasons. They belong to wide range of caste and religious groups.
Besides the survey of these individual migrant households, it also focuses on the function and structure of various caste, religious and other organizations among Indian migrants, because they seem to play a key role for formation of Indian communities in host society.
Against expectation, migrants' ties with their native place through sending money and letter, and visiting there are very weak. However the connection with their native place through the activities of caste, religious and other organizations seems to be strengthened.
Increasing generation gape exists in various aspects. Among growing second generation, to a greater or lesser extent, there is a trend of returning back to their indigenous culture, facing identity crisis.
In old Indian community, new problems of education and elderly people have arisen, Which will become more and more serious.
It is a noticeable trend that recently caste, religious, and other organizations among Indian migrants have developed their world-wide network, which gives strong impact on Indian communties.
