The Nexus between Long-Distance Nationalism, Social Exclusion and Misinformation: Experiences of Indian Diaspora in Australia

Activity: Talk or presentation typesOral presentation

Description

Presented a paper at the British Sociological Association Annual Conference 2025 held at the University of Manchester. The talk presented insights from my recent study that brings together a range of concerns about how right-wing nationalism radicalises the Hindu diaspora of Australia, which then leads to the exacerbation of social exclusion and the spread of transnational misinformation in Australia. The study also reveals a number of alleged affinities between the Indian right wing groups and White Australian politics and examines how such entanglements could pave the way for the normalisation of the activities of radical Indian right wing groups in the diaspora.
