  1. Thank you for showing this. I am a Singaporean of Indian descent. My ancestors left South Asia (India) and settled in South East Asia (Singapore) in the 19th century.

  3. I know you have to simplify for time, but as a member of the Indian diaspora, I feel it's only appropriate to mention that India is less like a country and more like 3 historic empires in a trench coat.

  4. This push pull factors follows the Evert Lee Model (1966). In addition to push and pull factors there are also intervening obstacles like distance from the area of destination area, strict migration policies and dangerous water.

  5. i keep on being amazed how good this series of crash course geography is: very informative, balanced, to the point, comprehensible and stacked with relevant examples.

  6. How is diaspora determined and how far back in time does it go? For example why is the British moving to overtake North America, Australia, New Zealand etc. not considered a diaspora?

  7. Slave labor in Dubai is probably part of the “involuntarily” mentioned huh? 🤣
    Also, maybe you can share some words about the presenters in the description?
    Would be nice for people to know more about them and their story / qualifications 😊
