Abstract
The worldwide Indian diaspora has been a significant influence in defining how the international community views India mostly due to the intellectual contributions of Indian intellectuals philosophers and professionals. This study examines the diverse impact of Indian intellectuals in the diaspora namely their contributions in academics policy-making and cultural diplomacy. The study explores the historical context of Indian migration and the development of diaspora communities in significant regions like North America Europe and the Middle East. It emphasises the role of Indian intellectuals in promoting cross-cultural understanding and advocating for Indias strategic interests overseas. The study explores the influence of these thinkers on global discussions on technology economics and human rights taking into account their varied origins and experiences. The intellectual diaspora plays a dual role by connecting India with the rest of the globe and also making valuable contributions to the socio-economic progress of their adopted nations via their expertise and innovative ideas. Moreover the research examines the difficulties encountered by Indian intellectuals in preserving their cultural identity while assimilating into their adoptive nations and how they manage these intricacies to shape global narratives. The results emphasise the need of cultivating greater connections between India and its diaspora in order to use their combined capacity in an increasingly interconnected world.
