| Summary/Abstract |
This article considers the interrelationship between a homeland and its diasporic communities from the point of view of the homeland. In particular, it examines the policies adopted by Russia and Israel toward the same group; that is, the Russian-speaking Jews who have immigrated to Israel from the former Soviet Union. The article demonstrates how the construction of this migrant population as diasporic community of the "homeland" gives rise to unexpected challenges to the symbolic definition of the "nation." These challenges add a new perspective in this regard, rendering tenuous the claim of the nation to primordiality, constancy, and coherence.

| Summary/Abstract |
This paper provides the statistical and background material for an understanding of the South Asian Diasporic communities in contemporary Britain. The article draws on the results of the British Census 2001, which gives precise data for the first time on the religious as well as ethnic composition of South Asian communities. The paper discusses the rather narrow set of source areas in the subcontinent and East Africa, and the similarly narrow set of destination areas of Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis in Britain. The socio-economic profiles of the ethno-religious communities are examined, and the divergent economic fortunes of Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims are discussed. The economic consequences of the desire in Muslim communities to protect women from the outside world also are noted.
