Abstract :   This paper explores the neo-diasporic consciousness within the Indian diaspora, particularly those rooted in indentured labor, through an examination of literature. With the Indian diaspora exceeding 25 million in over 200 countries, migration is driven by historical, political, and economic factors. The study focuses on the new diaspora, aiming to understand how individuals maintain Indian values globally. Key objectives include examining migration processes, the development of diasporic identity, and the role of ethnicity in shaping a global Indian identity. The research challenges conventional notions of diaspora, emphasizing its positive role in preserving cultural heritage. It discusses the establishment of global organizations and innovative communication methods to connect with diaspora communities. Using primary and secondary materials, surveys, interviews, and archival documents, the research aims to contribute a nuanced understanding of neo-diasporic consciousness, providing a comprehensive report for academic scrutiny.
