I am really piqued by the imperial routes of forced/economic migration during the heydays. Tamils in Reunion to Morocco Soldiers in Vietnam in the 1940’s during the world war to Bhojpuri speaking Guyanese to Hindi Speaking Fijians. Fascinating stories, not captured, not known, and not disseminated. How many of us know of the Gujarati traders in present day GCC or East Africa? The History behind the pravasi should be known as Prime Minister Modi visits the Khaleej.
