What we are

Diaspora Dreams is an editorial publication for the Indian diaspora. We cover the stories, ideas, and lives of people of Indian origin around the world — and the relationship the diaspora maintains with India itself. Our work spans daily news, long-form reporting, interviews, cultural criticism, and the practical journalism the diaspora has long needed: on visas, education, business, and travel.

Who we serve

We write for readers in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Gulf, Singapore, Mauritius, the Caribbean, southern Africa, and everywhere else the Indian diaspora calls home. We also write for readers in India who want to understand how their compatriots are living, working, and changing the countries they have made their own.

What we cover

Our reporting is organised into eight desks, each with its own editorial focus:

• Politics — Power, policy, and the global Indian voter.
• Business — Founders, capital, and supply chains across borders.
• Visas & Law — Status, paperwork, and the rules that govern movement.
• Culture — Music, film, food, faith, and identity.
• Heritage — The lineage, history, and intergenerational stories of the Indian diaspora.
• Opinion — Argued essays, columns, and letters from across the diaspora.
• Yoga & Spiritualism — Practice, philosophy, and the inner journey across the diaspora.
• Study Abroad — Universities, scholarships, and the student experience.

Editorial independence

Diaspora Dreams is editorially independent. Our newsroom decides what we cover, who we cover, and how we cover them — without interference from advertisers, sponsors, or the subjects of our reporting.

When we publish sponsored content, we label it clearly as a Paid Post and segregate it from our editorial feeds. Sponsored articles never appear in our Cover Story, Latest, In Conversation, or Related Articles sections, and they always carry the name of the paying sponsor at the top of the piece and a clear ethics disclosure at the bottom. You can browse every paid post we have ever published at our Sponsored content archive.

Corrections to published work are made transparently, with the correction noted in the body of the article and the publication date adjusted. We welcome corrections — if we have got something wrong, please tell us.

Sources and fact-checking

We cite our sources inline. Where a statistic, claim, or quotation appears in our reporting, we link to the primary source — a government publication, a research report, a court filing, an academic paper, or the original press release. When we cannot link to a primary source, we say so. Our standard is the standard of any serious editorial publication: every concrete claim is attributable.
