- W2282461567 abstract "In this article, I examine some recent events relating to the role of football in India. I argue that the sport provides an opportunity for the expression of particular types of globalism, some of which contrast with the localism that characterises the domestic game. Indians have therefore traditionally put their efforts into either consuming the global game or supporting local clubs despite a relative poverty in standards. The national team has sat uneasily between these two, and as such has been under-developed for the past three to four decades. There have been, however, a number of recent efforts from Non-Resident Indians to help boost the fortunes of the Indian national football squad. This has raised a number of questions about power, nationhood, and diaspora in a globalising world that are addressed in this article. Introduction In April 2002 the magazine India Today ‘revamped’ its international edition (published in New York) ‘to address the individual we call The Global Indian’. Three weeks later it ran a lengthy special feature inspired by the Indian Government’s recently released report on the Indian diaspora. There are estimated to be around twenty million Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) across the world, many of them in Asia and Africa, though it is the 2.5 million NRIs living in the UK and USA who receive much of the attention, not least because of their status, wealth and power. In commissioning and publishing their report the Government aims to ‘build bridges’ with the sons and daughters of migrants. As the India Today coverage demonstrated, there were specific reasons for this invigorated interest in NRIs. The first was the economic potential of their ‘return’: ‘global Indians wield resources estimated to touch $300 billion’; the second was about politics and influence: ‘more and more global Indians [are] finding their way into the power structures of the countries they live in’. So it seems that with recent economic liberalisation, the easing of foreign currency restrictions, the presence of multi-national companies and international IT and manufacturing firms, there is a realisation that members of the diaspora can contribute to the new India. In spite of India Today’s effort to acknowledge the plight of nineteenth century indentured labourers and their descendants, it was the possibility of foreign capital coming into the country, and therefore the wealthier members of the diaspora, that were of interest.
