About the Book
This book provides perspectives on how South Asian – often, more specifically, Indian – diasporas inhabit techno-mediated environments through their economic and socio-cultural activities. The themes examined include religion, caste, language, and gender in online communities and call centers, and the roles of these factors in the global economy, Bollywood online and offline, digital music, websites for arranging marriages, and so on. The book attempts to map «South Asia» in relation to global technospaces produced through and as a consequence of economic globalization efforts.

Editorial Reviews
“Privatization and commercialization of higher education, especially in professional and technical education, is a rampant phenomenon in the post-reform (1991) phase in India. The southern States of Andhra Pradesh (pre-bifurcation), Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu, and the western State of Maharashtra have been leading these reform initiatives. This is one of the first books that uncovers the ramifications of this under-researched area in comparative perspective. This is a must-read book for policymakers and researchers.”
—Sukhadeo Thorat, Former Chairman, University Grants Commission, New Delhi
