Hindu Diaspora and Religious Philanthropy in the United States

Abstract

Much has been written about the Indian Diaspora in the United States and its interest in India's development as manifested in charitable giving. In recent years several studies have tackled the aspect of Indian Immigrants in the United States and Diaspora philanthropy. However none of these of these studies have provided more than a cursory glance at the role played by religious institutions in channelling funds for development purposes. Religion for most Indian immigrants provides the rationale for giving and remains central to philanthropic giving. Religious centres such as Hindu temples and mosques act not only as community cultural centers but also raise funds for charity works in India and the United States.
