      <abstract>
        <p>Various researchers have discussed at length the story of Indians migrating to
South Africa. There is quite a body of literature tracing the journey of Indians
migrating to South Africa through different means. Through the different
studies the question of ‘identity’ especially for Indians in South Africa, has been
addressed time and again. South African Indian identity is the product of many
different factors. Among the various factors that have led to the formation of
this South Africa identity, perhaps the most significant is the media. Indians
have been influenced with the Indian media, since the beginning of migration as
indentured labour. This essay purports to analyze three types of Indian media
that have been paramount in shaping Indian diasporic identity in South Africa:
print media, especially newspapers; cinema, Bollywood; and social media,
including Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.</p>
