DESI literally means “from the country” and describes people of South Asian descent.

DESI which means “from the homeland,” is a term that is increasingly used to refer to people of South Asian origin in various locations around the world (but most prominently in North America and the United Kingdom). More importantly, the term signals, as Shankar (2008, 4) points out, “the shift from South Asians as immigrants longing to return to a home- land to public consumers and producers of distinctive, widely circulating cultural and linguistic forms.” The term Desi thus moves discussions of cultural identities past territorial boundaries and distinctions between those who reside in the Indian subcontinent and those who live outside. There is, of course, a politics to the term Desi, especially given the hegemonic position that India assumes in terms of culture, politics, economics, and geography. Moreover, as Singh (2007, 15) points out, “Dravidian languages, for instance, do not have the word Desi, thus potentially limiting the recognition or usefulness of the term even within South Asia.” I will return to this issue in greater detail at a later point in this chapter to explore how these issues around the term Desi identity shape media industry practices. Further, the word “stan” has typically been associated with physical geographies—Hindustan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and so on. Using the term Bollystan, which connotes place, dwelling, habitation, belonging, and experience in a world defined by Bollywood, this chapter also adds to ongoing debates about how transna- tional media flows have reframed relationships between geography, cultural production, and cultural identity. As we will see, where commercial media ventures are concerned, Bollystan has a very specific Anglo-American cultural geography and, as a consequence, re-roots only certain kinds of Desis. The network of cities that are part of diasporic entrepreneurs’ imagina- tion of Bollywood’s global reach includes cities such as London, New York, Los Angeles, and Toronto but not, for instance, cities in other culturally vibrant diasporic spaces such as Trinidad. And even within these cities in the Global North, it is only a certain narrow, largely middle and upper-middle class cultural sphere of South Asians that informs the imaginations and practices of media industry professionals.
