DESIJOURNAL: A VIRTUAL COMMUNITY OF THE INDIAN DIASPORA

Dhanik Sulistyarini

Abstract


This essay discusses the role of the Internet for Indian diasporic
community. I argue that the internet is a powerful medium in maintaining their
sense of identity as Indians. I use an Indian online magazine, Desijournal
(available at www.desijournal.com), as a case study to support my argument.
Various issues are discussed in this essay, such as the concepts of diasporic and virtual communities, and the sense of identity among them.
Keywords: internet, diaspora, cultural identity, virtual community
