Plural of diaspora: the dispersion or migration of a group of people (especially a cultural or ethnic group) from their homeland to other regions.
From Greek 'dia-' (across) + 'speirein' (to scatter). Originally referred to seeds scattered by wind; later applied metaphorically to scattered populations of people.
The word diaspora captures something profound about human history—the scattering of peoples across the globe, creating the rich cultural diversity we see today, from Indian communities worldwide to the African diaspora!
