Modern Technology, Identity and Culture: The South Asian Diasporas
"The primary purpose of this paper is to explore very briefly and in a broad way a relatively unchartered area: the role modern technology, particularly in transportation and communications, plays in cultural heritage and ethnic identity maintenance (or change) among specific groups, using overseas South Asian groups as a case in point."

"The paper begins by noting the continuing importance of the phenomena of ethnicity and race (with a focus on the former) in the modern world and the critical role technology plays in human life. It then proceeds to provide a short account of South Asian migrations before examining the role that transportation and communication technologies appear to have played in the construction, or perhaps more accurately, the reconstruction of ethnic group culture and identity among South Asians in the diasporas. It concludes with a hope that this subject will be explored more fully, with a view to increasing our understanding of what may lie ahead."
