Great piece, continuing in the vein of Asians and East Africa. If you haven't seen Mississippi Masala, I do recommend it as it is the only film I know of that deals with the twice-migrant Asian community.

Big Mira Nair fan here. Miss. Masala was fun, Monsoon Wedding, Salaam Bombay, Vanity Fair. Ok, Kama Sutra (of all things!) was a snooze.
The Indians in East Africa have an interesting story. Two large movements of Indians, one to Africa, and the other to the Caribbean (from which my family arrived in the US). Gujuratis and Panjabis to Africa, Uttar Pradeshis and Biharis to the Caribbean. On a recent trip to India, some people knew which part of the dispora I was from based on the spelling of my surname.
