The project is well-framed and compelling. The contributing authors and the editor are all up-and-coming names in their respective fields, and the involvement of Sunil Amrith and other senior scholars speaks well of the proposed volume's integrity. * Sascha Auerbach, Lecturer in Modern History, University of Nottingham, UK * This is carefully conceptualized proposal for a very promising edited volume...that promises to bring studies on Indian migration into dialogue with wider debates in global history. I definitely recommend to pursue publication. * Harald Fischer-Tine, Professor of Modern Global History, ETH-Zurich, Switzerland * This is a stellar proposal that I highly recommend for publication. [It] crucially reverses the traditional historiographic lens by highlighting the impact of South Asian migrants on processes of globalization and the development of global legal regimes. * Carolien Stolte, University Lecturer of History, Leiden University, Netherlands *

This important collection breaks new ground in global history, offering an array of case studies that chart subcontinental migrations within and and beyond the rubric of empire. Together, these essays demonstrate the agency of South Asians as their mobility highlights processes of the formation of the modern nation state, even as they seek to transgress the arbitrariness of its borders, identities and legal manoeuvres. * Kama Maclean, Kama Maclean, Professor of History, South Asia Institute, University of Heidelberg, Germany. *
