Abstract
This paper analyzes Hakka Diaspora in Calcutta, India by focusing on the
migratory process and the formation of ethnic minority. The formation of Tangra Chinese has its historical path from immigrant workers, refugees and international
immigrants, and should be studied in different Indian institutional context, such as imperial colony, nation-state building, caste society, and market economy. The diaspora Hakka in Calcutta provides the complex history of global migrations of populations, the stigmatization and oppression of minorities by modern states, and the representation of an ethnic minority as an integral part of contemporary multicultural society.
