Research project: Transnational Jain diaspora social and political engagements in India - Dormant
Funded through the Annual Adventures in Research Fund, University of Southampton, this project investigated the social and political impact of Jain diasporic economic philanthropy and social remittances to a Jain non-governmental organisation delivering services in rural Gujarat. This project addresses the interests of national and international policymakers in transnational ties between religious/ immigrant diasporas and their countries of origin, and in the role of religious or faith-based organisations (FBOs) in delivering development.
