Summary: Indian Diaspora: Between Modernity and Tradition is an edited collection by Paramjit S. Judge that examines the historical development and contemporary experiences of the Indian diaspora across the world. The volume traces the evolution of Indian migration from the era of indentured labour in the late nineteenth century to present-day voluntary migration, demonstrating how Indian migrant communities have maintained distinctive cultural identities while adapting to diverse social and political environments. The book contains contributions from scholars who explore the Indian diaspora from sociological, historical, and anthropological perspectives. Topics include migration to the United States, Canada, Europe, Suriname, Thailand, and the Persian Gulf, with particular emphasis on the Punjabi diaspora.

The volume also evaluates the developmental impact of diaspora communities on their regions of origin, especially Punjab.
