The Indian Ocean as a Memory Space-Reflections in Indian Diasporic Literature and Culture: The Indian Ocean is a Memory Space for India and her Diaspora. It is a space or site with which, not just the memories of the British colonial period are linked, but collective memories that go back much further in time. Maritime communities from India's Western and Eastern coasts have for over 4,000 years and more, engaged in trade and commerce with the lands in the Persian Gulf, the East and South African coasts, and South East Asia. During the colonial period, indentured Indian labour was taken first to Mauritius in 1834 and then to South Africa and East Africa. The indentured diaspora was followed quickly by the diaspora of traders and professionals. These memories are reflected in Indian Diasporic Literature and Cinema written or made by persons of Indian origins who still live in the littoral states along the African shores of the Indian Ocean, or those who have since immigrated to other spaces such as Canada, the U.S.A. and the U.K. Much research is being done around the world today on the Indian Ocean and its connection with the Indian Diaspora. This international, interdisciplinary collection of essays written by scholars of the Indian diaspora from India and different diasporic locations will value add to the existing scholarship.
