This volume presents a diverse range of scholarship which seeks to outline some of the cultural activities practiced by peoples of South Asian origin who live in other places. Collected here, for the first time, are a remarkable range of essays that illuminate networks of Indian businessmen in New York; or marriage practices among Punjabi Sikhs in Britain and among Hyderabadis around the globe; annual commemorations of the classical Karnataka composer-saint Tyagaraja in Cleveland and New Jersey; the building of Hindu temples in Maryland or Atlanta and more.
