A Study of Understanding Women in Diaspora with Special Reference to Indian Women
Over the years the term diaspora has undergone transformation by acquiring a wider meaning. It is on record that at one point or another people moved either voluntarily, transported or dispersed from their place of origin to an alien place for trading and colonising purposes. Diasporic communities manifest themselves in various forms depending on the context one looks at them. In thinking of the Indian diaspora, the questions that come to the fore include: relations between parents and children; race relations between Indians, blacks, and whites; the place of Indian food and music in the preservation of Indian communities, etc. This paper explores the clothing practices of the working women in the Indian diaspora across the globe. It aims to identify the clothing practices of the Indian working women in the diaspora and also know the factors that affect their dressing.
