Desis in Europa

People marked as 'South Asians' in 'Eastern Europe'

As Kotin (2006a) shows there has been a long history of interaction between 'Russia' and 'India' as well as 'Indian' settlement in 'Russia'. In Desai's (2006) novel Sai's parents went to the Soviet Union to be trained. Still many students go there, even if they have to face racism in 'Russia'.

On 'Eastern Europe' in general Kotin (2006b) provides only little information.
