Titled the "New Homelands: The Indian diaspora in the European Union", the photo exhibition is on display at the Indian Habitat Centre from October 20 to November 7. It will then travel to Mumbai and will be hosted at the Piramal Gallery. In September 2016, three award-winning Indian photo-journalists—Paroma Mukherjee, Kounteya Sinha and Shome Basu—criss-crossed Europe on a month-long tour to explore the lives of the Indian diaspora in their adopted homelands. The exhibition in a very subtle, heartwarming and nostalgic way traces the life journeys of some of the notable Indians who not only struck gold in their new homes by learning new languages, customs and traditions, but are still carrying a piece of India afloat with them.
