South Asian diaspora

The South Asian diaspora refers to people of South Asian descent—primarily from countries like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal—who live outside their countries of origin. This migration has occurred for various reasons, including economic opportunities, education, and political stability. The diaspora is diverse, contributing to cultural, social, and economic life in their new countries while maintaining connections to their ancestral cultures. Major communities exist in countries like the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the Gulf states, where they often influence local economies, cultural landscapes, and politics.
