This is an epic 10 part film series on the Indian Diaspora in collaboration with the Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs and the Public Diplomacy Division of the Ministry of External Affairs, Govt. of India. Straddling the East and the West, the fabled lands of Arabia have long evoked images of Bedouins and bazaars. But here sifting sands have given way to oases of cement and steel. But before the cities, preceding the crowds, the first caravans to come, came form India. This film is a story of collaboration between cultures. Of Indian ingenuity that's been married to Arabian panache to build cities, dreams and life itself.

  • Bridging Worlds- Melting Pot - The Story of the Indian Diaspora in Singapore & Malaysia

    The Indo-Malaysian and Indo-Singaporean relations of today have a more than 1500 year old history of trade and cultural links. The film looks at the Indian diaspora in both these countries separately while also looking at the commonalities that run deep into history. Malaysia exhibits a confluence of Pan Asian cultures with Indians playing a significant role in commerce and culture. The prosperity of Indians and people of Indian origin reveals both the liberal and cosmopolitan premise of Singapore's evolution as a country as well as the contribution of Indians in this evolution. The socio-economic profile of Indians ranges from labourers and workers to businessmen and traders. The film also explores questions of identity that this rich cultural landscape is fraught with.

  • Bridging Worlds: Routes to Roots

    This is an epic 10 part film series on the Indian Diaspora in collaboration with the Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs and the Public Diplomacy Division of the Ministry of External Affairs, Govt. of India. Travelling all over the world, the Indian Diaspora is a force to reckon with. Separated from India by distance and in some cases, time, nevertheless there is a strong connection, cultural and emotional, to the country they left behind. Routes to Roots is a film that explores this connection and the journeys made by Diaspora Indians as they come back to India, seeking connections to their villages, their families, their roots.

  • Bridging Worlds A Meeting of Minds: The Story of Indians in the United Kingdom

    A full version of this film is also available at http://goo.gl/QbmKFo

    Of all the countries Indians have made home, the United Kingdom has perhaps the longest and definitely the most complex relationship with the Diaspora. Starting as a legacy of colonisation, continuing when immigration opened after the War, immigration today is also about economic opportunities and big business with Indian companies leading the way in investing in Big Britain.


    Overcoming painful legacies, building on commonalities and shared histories, Indians and Britons have come closer together as allies, creating truly A Meeting of Minds. And this has been possible largely due to the efforts of the Indian Diaspora whose success has exceeded the wildest expectations. Prominent in every field - business, politics, the professions, art and culture, media and communication - their success has not just helped relations between both countries, but has also created within the UK, a deep appreciation for the culture and capacities of the Land that was once the jewel in the crown.

  • Bridging Worlds: The Story of Indians in the United States of America; A Place in The Sun

    A full version of this film is also available at http://goo.gl/lA9pU6

    The land of freedom and liberty, America, the new world, offers Indians the chance to make their dreams come true! Although immigration has taken place in small numbers since the 19th century, only in the fifties and sixties did immigration open up, allowing a whole new set of immigrants with tech skills to head to the US.

    There they rewrote the rules for immigrants, storming the worlds of medicine, academia, finance and research. Their children pushed the boundaries even further as they rose to the top of professions like law, politics, art, music and media. And with constant immigration from India, the Indo American diaspora is one of the most exciting and successful Diasporas in America.
