Beschreibung
This book tells the stories of Indian immigrants in Germany, including Blue Card holders and students categorized as highly skilled migrants, as well as others choosing shadow migration pathways in order to leave the country. It investigates their motivations for leaving India and choosing Germany as an immigration destination. Grappling with the stories of tech workers fleeing the pandemic, activists fleeing the witch hunting of the government, women escaping gender(ed) violence and queer people seeking freedom, this book uses reflexivity as an analytical tool. Investigation of their transcultural practices also reveals a general intent among Indians to create homes in Germany, despite several challenges to such efforts, including structural and everyday symbolic racism.

Über den Autor
Amrita Datta is a migration scholar currently based at the Department of Sociology, University of Siegen, Germany, as a Marie Sklowdowska-Curie Fellow. Earlier, she earned a doctoral degree in Sociology from the Centre for the Study of Social Systems, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India.
Zusammenfassung
This book explores the lives of Indian immigrants in Germany, from the first phase that started in the 1950s until the present day. Recent data shows that there has been a sharp increase in the number of Indians migrating to Germany, for employment and higher education, a substantial portion of which are young women. This trend was not affected even by the pandemic. This book analyses how the EU Blue Card Scheme, along with several factors in India, have emerged as migration motivations for these people. Although negligible in numbers, people from India are also arriving in India for political refuge. Until now, the popular perception even in the academia is that Indians no longer seek political refuge, but this is a myth. Datta's field work suggests that there is a steady growth in number of Indians seeking political refuge especially through frameworks such as Scholars at Risk, but the success rate is significantly lower. Since these numbers are far less in comparison to the applicants from other countries they do not find enough visibility, but their stories are included here too.
