At about the same time when India jumped into the 'globalization, privatization and liberalization' bandwagon, it rediscovered its umbilical ties with the members of Indian Diaspora. We are very proud of the accomplishments of the members of the Diaspora. This paper is an attempt to probe whether we are equally responsive to the first section of fortunate members of Indian Diaspora located in South East Asia. In the first section of the paper, I will take a brief note of how to define the Indian Diaspora, and will trace how the policy of the government has undergone a shift. I will attempt an examination of the present sociopolitical status of Indian Diaspora in Southeast Asia in the second section with special attention to Myanmar where the Indian Diaspora face challenging situations. In the third section, I will try to evaluate how far the policy measures suggested by the High Level Committee on Indian Diaspora (L.M. Singhvi Committee, 2002) address the grievances of people of Indian origin and will also attempt to print out what remains to be done. Adapted from the source document.

The literature of the Indian diaspora constitutes an important part of the burgeoning field of anglophone postcolonial literature. Some of the better-known authors in this archive include V.S. Naipaul, Salman Rushdie, Rohinton Mistry, Bharati Mukherjee, Amitav Ghosh, Jhumpa Lahiri, Anita Desai, M.G. Vassanji, Shyam Selvadurai, and Kiran Desai. The growing international visibility of these authors has gone hand in hand with the popularity of postcolonial criticism and theory in academe. Vijay Mishra's scholarly work on Bollywood cinema, Indian devotional poetry, Indian diasporic literature, and postcolonial theory and criticism has contributed greatly to our understanding of this important area of writing.
