This chapter focuses on contemporary development thinking in India, and the place it has accorded to the figure of the Non-Resident Indian since the neoliberal economic reforms of 1991 opened the door to unfettered globalization. The diasporic investor has often been a hoped-for fantasy creature sought by the policy establishment over this period, and arguably has garnered a disproportionate degree of notice in national economic and social arrangements. Following the cultural politics of the diasporic Hindu Right into the contested realm of Indian development thought, I will consider how diasporic organizations have engaged with these emerging ideas and consequent political opportunities. The processes of globalization make for a class system that exceeds national boundaries -I will examine India’s development paradigm in this context.
