International Migration, Goan Diaspora and the caste dynamics in Assolna, Velim, Cuncolim (Goa)
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 8
Abstract
This paper presents how the upward social mobility brought about due to Goan diaspora and the socio-economic linkages with the sending society, contributes to the structuration of the caste structured society in to a class structured one, thereby leading to a new structure of the village. The paper findings are based on interviews with twenty four respondents and participant observation undertaken for a period of thirty months in three villages i.e Assolna, Velim and Cuncolim in Goa. The entire process of change from caste based society to a class based society is deliberated with the help of seven hallmarks of the diaspora households in AVC. However, it is the alterations and magnitude of performing these acts that have contributed to the emergence of ‘dominant/elite class’. The ‘Dominant/elite class’ which comprises of the diaspora households, influences the rest of the Christian households with reference to the seven hallmarks. It is these seven hallmarks that contribute to the motivation to migrate, thereby resulting in a culture of migration in AVC.
