Abstract

The word of ‘diaspora’ that refers to the dispersal of population to other places due to various reasons started in India with the sending of ‘indentured labor’ identified as ‘new slavery’
to the plantation regions under the administration of British Empire. It became possible to observe that Indian diaspora has transformed with the contribution of developments in both within the country and out of country. One of the most remarkable developments has been the period of globalization. This is because; globalization became the manifestation of cultural flow between homeland and the diaspora who had to migrate or preferred to migrate. Along with the development both information and communication technologies with globalization, Bollywood movies as an example of glocalization which brought together global with local became the most influential instrument of providing linkage between diaspora and homeland and reconstruction of the culture and values of India over Indian diasporas. Starting from this, this study will try to expose how Bollywood movie reconstruct Indian values for Indian diaspora. It also will be demonstrated how Bollywood cinema has an effect on both connecting with the homeland for diasporic Indian society and protecting and maintaining of the Indian customs and values with the help of three Indian movies.
