Abstract
This chapter focuses on the significance of the city in understanding a sense of home belonging and identity for the Anglo-Indian diaspora. It engages with two key ideas that underpin connections between home, city and diaspora. First, it explores the idea of the city as an affective register of belonging. Second, it analyses ways in which community memories are mapped onto urban space. Focusing on practices of belonging that span community associations and events, the chapter also interrogates how the community engages with ideas of a cosmopolitan past and multicultural present in the city.
