With economic liberalization in many parts of the world, there is also a cultural form of liberalization that invites citizens who have moved abroad to reinvest in example, has the category Non-Residant Indian (NRI). At the present moment, in the continued euphoria over the end of communism and the command economy, as well as the wave of enthusiasm over marketization and free trade, NRIs have special rights, driven by national and regional forces seeking expathriate money and expertise in India. Thus Indian banks, state, and private entrepreneurs, in their desire for this expertise and wealth, are committed to special deals for NRIs, especially in regard to taxation, property rights, and freedom of movement in and out of India. At the same time, in their lives in the United State, many diasporic Indian communities are deeply involved in reproducing “Hindu” identity for themselves and their children and have thus become active supporters of Hindu right- wing movements and organizations in India. This is a complex story, which needs detailed engagement elsewhere, but it is worth noting the link between the cultural politics of NRIs, which draws them into communal politics in India, and the willingness of state and capitalist interests in India to extend them extraterritorial economic rights.
