Despite being the second most populous country in the world, India has a relatively small diaspora. Still, they number nearly 25 million Indians in the world and are a major asset for the Indian economy.

If we are to develop and build a functional relationship between the Homeland and the Armenian Diaspora, we need to understand the discrepancy between the Diaspora’s devotion to Armenianness and the Republic of Armenia’s vision for the Armenian world.
