Commonwealth diaspora

The South Asian diaspora playing cricket in Toronto, Canada.

The Commonwealth diaspora is the group of people whose ancestry traces back to countries in the Commonwealth of Nations, a group mainly consisting of former British colonies.[a]

History

Colonial era

The British Empire enabled a substantial amount of commercial migration; for example, 1.5 million Indian merchants are estimated to have gone abroad in the 19th century.[2] Preferential access to trade with other British colonies, as well as new commercial opportunities unlocked within India by railways and markets established by the British, influenced this migration flow.[3] Indian migrants played a significant role in the expansion of the British Empire, though at times involuntarily, as in the case of many indentured servants or exiled criminals.[4]

Contemporary era

In the aftermath of World War 2 and the rapid breakup of the British Empire, Britain invited Commonwealth citizens to immigrate to Britain as part of the post-war rebuilding of the nation.[5] Many of these immigrants faced significant racism.[6][7] Restrictions on Commonwealth migration to Britain later emerged with the Commonwealth Immigrants Act 1962.[8]

Inter-Commonwealth migration began to slow down in general, as recently liberated countries began to develop a greater sense of national identity and desire to limit foreign influences in general.[9]

Recent decades

The Commonwealth diaspora in Britain in particular has been identified as a potential asset, allowing Britain to make economic and other connections to other Commonwealth countries, which has been a particularly relevant topic of discussion as Britain charts its post-Brexit future and decides which groupings of countries to focus on working with (such as with the European Union).[10][11][12]

Immigration between Commonwealth countries, which makes up half of all Commonwealth migration, has played a significant role in linking Commonwealth countries together economically and culturally.[13]

The British royalty have previously hosted events commemorating this diaspora.[14]

Culture

Language

The English language has played a role in facilitating migration within the Commonwealth.[15]

Sports

Various groups in the Commonwealth diaspora, such as Caribbean diasporas,[16][17] have been noted for being bound together by the sport of cricket,[18][19] as well as introducing cricket to a number of countries, such as Canada and the United States.[20][21]
