This volume constitutes the proceedings of academic deliberations and presented papers of the National Seminar on “Telugu Diaspora through the Ages (From the earliest Times)”. The papers in this volume discuss various dimensions of Telugu Diaspora. They are arranged chronologically and geographically. The Telugu Diaspora refers to the Telugu Speaking people of Indian States residing in mainly in other countries like United States of America, Europe, Gulf, Malaysia and other regions around the world.

All the papers are well researched ones and add to our understanding of the Socio-Cultural aspects of Telugu Diaspora and Indian Diaspora. I hope this Volume will be of more interest to both serious scholars of Indian History, Diaspora, inter disciplinary studies and students alike and also a general reader.
