Kurzfassung:
Drawing upon transnational research in the UK and India, primarily over 150 semi-structured interviews in Newcastle, UK and Doaba, Punjab, as well as the 'mobilities turn' within contemporary social science, this paper examines the pursuit of 'home' within a diasporic British Indian Punjabi community. It is argued that this transnational pursuit of home is significantly shaped by the dynamic social context of South Asia, in particular processes of social inclusion and exclusion therein. Thus, returning Punjabi migrant attempts to distinguish themselves from the resident population through conspicuous consumption, and simultaneous attempts from Punjabi residents to exclude Non-Resident Indians from 'real' Indian status, lead to a continual reprocessing of home across different sites of mobility, as well as demonstrating the 'never fully achieved' nature of home.
