Abstract

ABSTRACTThe article critically examines the two population estimates (i.e. 2000 and 2018) of overseas Indians/Indian diaspora. Both estimates were released by the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India, and appear to be definitive documents on the subject. It also presents the global/regional distribution of the contemporary Indian diaspora apart from a brief account of the historiography of the population estimates of overseas Indians/Indian diaspora since India’s independence. Finally, a critique is also made of the latest diaspora population estimates and a new diaspora category of students suggested in the 15th Report of the Parliamentary Committee on External Affairs on ‘Welfare of Indian Diaspora: Policies/Schemes’ pertaining to the Ministry of External Affairs.KEYWORDS: Indian diasporaoverseas Indianspopulation estimates PIOsNRIsIndian students abroad Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsPrakash C.

21世纪印度侨民:人口与地区分布

摘要本文批判性地考察了海外印度人/印度侨民的两次人口估计(即2000年和2018年)。这两项估计都是由印度政府外交部公布的，似乎是关于这个问题的决定性文件。除了简要介绍自印度独立以来海外印度人/印度侨民的人口估计的历史记录外，它还介绍了当代印度侨民的全球/地区分布。最后，还对最新的散居人口估计和议会对外事务委员会关于“印度散居人口福利:政策/计划”的第15次报告中建议的新散居学生类别进行了批评。关键词:海外印度侨民印度人口估计piosni印度留学生披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。prakash C.
