Abstract

ABSTRACT In this article, I consider how the Indian state approaches the relationship between India’s development and the Indian diaspora by analysing the discourse that emerges from a key Indian government report. I argue that the Indian state uses the idea of development to support the way it governs Indians abroad. At the same time, the Indian state uses its relationship with Indians abroad to support particular policies being pursued in the name of India’s development. These policies require economic “liberalization”, including by freeing up the movement of capital and reducing rates of corporate taxation. While invoking Indians abroad to shape the governance of Indians inside of India appears counterintuitive, I argue that it reflects the way that particular notions of “overseas Indians” and “development” are being simultaneously shaped by the Indian state, and the way that the authority of the Indian state to pursue particular “development policies” is being grounded.
一个关于印度、移民和发展的故事
在本文中,我通过分析一份重要的印度政府报告中出现的话语,来考虑印度政府如何处理印度发展与印度侨民之间的关系。我认为印度政府用发展的理念来支持它管理海外印度人的方式。与此同时,印度政府利用其与海外印度人的关系,支持以印度发展的名义推行的特定政策。这些政策要求经济“自由化”,包括放开资本流动和降低企业税率。虽然援引海外印度人来塑造印度国内印度人的治理似乎有悖直觉,但我认为,这反映了印度政府同时塑造“海外印度人”和“发展”的特定概念的方式,以及印度政府追求特定“发展政策”的权威的方式。
