The Indian diaspora is one of the largest national overseas communities. Around 22 million Indians and people of Indian origin live abroad and are in almost all countries of the world. They play an increasingly important role in Indian national and foreign policies, as Delhi has been dynamically re-engaging with Indians globally and involving them in the development of the country. The overseas Indians have a significant political, economic and soft power role in Indian domestic and international aspirations. As this diaspora continues to grow and the government in Delhi emphasises its importance, one may expect it will play a larger role in cooperation with India. The Indian minority in Poland is a relatively new phenomenon, which emerged only after the end of the Cold War, especially after Poland joined the EU, since when the number of Indians in Poland has more than doubled. It seems that the size of the community will increase in the future, as the Polish economy continues to grow, and as more foreign direct investments, including those from India, are made in Poland, enhancing the country's economic attractiveness for migrants. Today, the Indian community in Poland is made up of almost 4,000 people. This makes it the eighth largest immigrant community in Poland. Although still relatively small, if compared with those established in many Western European countries, it is the main concentration of Indians in Central Europe, and among the New EU Member States. This gives Poland a certain comparative advantage over countries in the region vis-à-vis India.

Berlin naît au XIIIe siècle, en même temps que s'y installent les premiers Juifs. Sept siècles de présence au cours desquels la communauté juive s'inscrit dans le paysage de la ville au point de faire corps avec elle, jusqu'à l'avènement du nazisme. Pourtant, dès l'après-guerre, c'est à Berlin (Est et Ouest) que reviennent quelques Juifs allemands, et c'est à Berlin qu'émigre une grande partie des Juifs de Russie après 1989. C'est encore à Berlin que séjournent nombre de jeunes israéliens qui font le choix d'un nouvel exode. Comment expliquer cet attachement à la ville? Que dire de cette « relation d'amour et de désespoir » qui lie les Juifs à Berlin? Comment comprendre l'aura dont jouit cette ville, par-delà les générations, par-delà l'histoire, par-delà les ineffaçables souffrances? Les études de ce volume tentent d'y répondre en interrogeant l'architecture et l'urbanisme, la littérature et la musique, la pensée et l'histoire.

Throughout its history the concept of "Uzbekness," or more generally of a Turkic-speaking sedentary population, has continuously attracted members of other groups to join, as being Uzbek promises opportunities to enlarge ones social network. Accession is comparatively easy, as Uzbekness is grounded in a cultural model of territoriality, rather than genealogy, as the basis for social attachments. It acknowledges regional variation and the possibility of membership by voluntary decision. Therefore, the boundaries of being Uzbek vary almost by definition, incorporating elements of local langua
