The article covers the topic of women's migration from poorer countries to the so called First World to provide domestic work and care giving.

The Indian society is 'in-between' tradition and modernity. Religious archetypes and subsequent social and gender stereotypes prevail in many respects but they are in a process of dynamic changes. Conceptualizing identity still faces the shadow of the colonial heritage. An independent national discourse may not, however, always overcome marginalizations inside the society, both the gender or ethnic...

The authoress argues that these texts, by communicating perspectives on Indigenous women's identities, representations, and their common...
