Abstract

Migration is as old as human history. In world History, The dispersal of the Jews in different parts of the world away from their home land is referred to as "diaspora". The term diaspora now refers to displaced communities which have been dislocated from their homeland through migration or immigrations on exile. Diaspora is a dislocation from a geographical location of origin and relocation in another territory or country.

There is so much of cultural mixing in the post-colonial era that it has given birth to „hybrid culture". In every country the highest class (and especially in India) is worse affected by this phenomenon.
