Khoja Diaspora Studies

Khoja Diaspora Studies is an academic field that explores the history, culture, and social experiences of the Khoja community—originally Indian Muslim traders who migrated to regions like East Africa, South Asia, and North America. It examines how their religious identity, commerce, and migration patterns shape their collective identity over time. The discipline also considers their interactions with local cultures and the ways they maintain traditions while adapting to new environments. Overall, it provides a comprehensive understanding of how the Khoja community has navigated identity, migration, and globalization across generations.
