This book looks at the history of Indian migrants in Australia and New Zealand over a period of two and a half centuries. It looks at the history of their migration, settlement and encounter with racism. However, this book is not just about the diaspora; it is also about circulation of ideas between the Antipodes and India, both being parts of the British Empire and the Commonwealth.
