Indians now constitute a significant ethnic minority in Australia
and New Zealand. According to the most recent census figures, they
number slightly more than half a million, but represent a
successful ethnic community making significant contributions to
their host societies and economies. The histories of their
migration go back to the early colonial period, but rarely do they
find any space in the global literature on Indian diaspora,
probably because of their small numbers. This book covers their
history over the past two and half centuries, covering both the
'old' and the 'new' diaspora; the first group consisting of the
labourers who migrated under pressure of colonial capital, and the
second group representing the post-war professional migrants. But
this book is not just about the diaspora, it also looks closely at
the host societies which over this period have been receiving and
interacting with these migrants. And it looks at a few Antipodeans
too, who were going to India in the early twentieth century and
making contributions in terms of ideas and service.
