Global South Asians: Introducing the Modern Diaspora

This article examines the ways in which a group of Gujarati migrant women in Sydney, Australia, negotiate belonging within the context of their religious community or satsang. Using multi-sited ethnography in India and in Australia, the work interrogates the religious community as the institutional site in which boundaries of belonging and identity are delineated. It reveals that women negotiate belonging in the temple space around three primary areas: foodwork, bodily practices such as headcovering and information communication technologies or virtual space. Results indicate the ways in which women construct themselves as cultural gatekeepers around foodwork practices and the way in which headcovering becomes a site of contestation over claims of doctrinal or cultural authority. Finally, the study reveals the way in which women's participation in virtual religious space opens up possibilities for multi-layered ways of belonging and new ritual practices that challenge gendered norms.

How Gujarati Hindu Migrant Women Negotiate Identity and Belonging within their Religious Community: An Ethnographic Study

INTRODUCTIONThe family is one of the essential elements in maintaining balance and social cohession in the diaspora. 3 Family ties emerge as cne of the fcundaticnal elarents in the transnational spectrum, through Wnich nerbers build their cultural references. Ballard has demonstrated the centrality of creating a chain system of migration in the rooting process of groups that originate from Asia to the UK, being the realm where reciprocity and kinship ties play a central role in the structuring process cf different cnnrunities (EoUard, 1594) . Qrcrmitantly Baurann (1998) proved that the family reunification process, thrcuji the progressive will of establishment and roctedness also changed the character of each South Asian group, which contradicts initial logics of mobilization that had the uncferlying intention of return to India.Concerning the specific context of the Hindu diaspora, Aarious authors reaffirm the central contribution of the family in the perpetuation of Hinduism (McDonald, 1987; Michaelson, 1987). Ballard (1994) considers religion an essential element in the consolidation of Desh Pardesh, an expression used to cfescribe the process of construing social, cultural and spatial realities of the South-Asian diasporas in London. Baunann refers to the edification of Little Indias, undertaken by these populations, in which religion-Hinduism-is not only maintained but also transformed through processes of reinterpretation and reification (Baunarn, 1994).Religion acts as a preferential device in the consolidation of the Hindu dispporic identity and simultaneously as a means of transformation and re-creation. Unlike Christianity or Islam, Hinduism assumes a strong association with a national territory, in the oenaethat virtually all Hindus are Indians (Vertovec, 2000) . The feeling of a bond with India in the form of spiritual reverence, of the great sacrechess attributed to religious locations and the geographyy itself, is enough to demonstrate the significance of India' s civilizational heritage in the consolidation of this diaspora.Therefore it nates sense to speak of an extensive Hindu diaspora, corpcsed of groups with specific characteristics deriving either from their cultural and regional backgrounds within India itself (Gujarati or Ergati, fier exaople) , or from the specificities of UB countries in wnich they settle, vterety it is not the sane to speak of the Hindi Diaspora in the USA, in the UK or in Portugal. Even so, the unifying elerents are strong enough to avercene the internal differexes of the global Hindu diaspora.Due to its adaptation to new social setting, diasporic Hinduism has been described as a shifting religion, indirkd in a transformation process that has been labeled as "new Hinduism" (Eck, 2000), "American Hinduism" (Eck, 2000; Kurien, 1998), "British Hinduism" (Knott, 1986) or "Ecumenical Hinduism" (Williams, 1995: 238) . The transfomation of traditions always results from processes of adjustment to the circumstances fcund in the new places of settlement. In view of this, individuals find the need to remember physically and geographically distant traditions so that they can later accept them to the new place of resicfexe, thus creating new traditions for themselves and their descendants (Williams, 1996).The Hindu diaspora may also be viewed as being intinately related to a composite transnationalism framework. Despite its cultural specificities, Hindu transnaticnalism resembles other transnational contexts. In this seise, as in otter transnational contexts, the "second" and "third" migrant crrdition (Basch et al., 1994) of many Hindu cnmunities in the diaspora inplies the erergence and construction of networks of contacts and relations as "joint families," in which members frequently possess multiple rationalities. Technological develepments also play an inportant role concerning the intensification, of virtual communication as veil as periodical visits. …

Hindu Transnational Families: Transformation and Continuity in Diaspora Families

As perpetuators of what is considered traditional knowledge, Hindu women in Portugal are assigned a new status through religion, thus replacing the male pujari. This article focuses on the Hindu diaspora in Portugal, and specifically on the role played by women in the construction of gender and religious identities, who, entrusted with new social and ritual responsibilities, contribute towards the cultural replication of their traditional community. As anthropological studies on gender in diaspora show us, the assignment of religious roles are used to recreate women’s social status in the ‘host’ country.

Religion and gender: the Hindu diaspora in Portugal

This text examines the population of Indian origin in Portugal, which comes mainly from three Indian states: Gujarat, Goa and Punjab. This population settled in Portugal in different waves, and correspondingly cultural institutions and various places of worship were built, associated with different religious traditions. This analysis relies on ethnographic reports, scientific publications, statistical data, and a mass media review. Thus, it provides historical information, demographic and socio-economic profiles, levels of integration and data on the legal framework of the Indian population living in Portugal.

Anthropological Perspectives on Female Identity: The Hindu Diaspora in Portugal

The impact of Bollywood cinema among Portuguese viewers is an unknown reality in the surrounding society. Usually associated to the communities of Indian origin, the consumption of this kind of cinema also occurs among people from various sectors of the Portuguese population that although not related to each other, have in common the habit of watching Indian films in private, away from the suspicious and stereotyped looks from their relatives and friends. In the meantime, Bollywood dance, the performance inspired by the Hindi cinema choreographies, is growing. The increase of its practitioners reveals an interest in cultural references associated with India and its popular culture, functioning Bollywood dance as an alternative dance practice, generating wellbeing. This paper focuses on the anthropological analysis of both popular Indian cinema audiences and the increasing practice of Bollywood dance in Portugal, exploring the processes of demand for wellbeing based on cultural references from Indian popular culture. Although with different features, these two ethnographic examples represent creative and alternative cultural processes, through which new identities arise, framed in old orientalist ideas.
