                      II MA
Dept. of Mass communication
 Are they really nostalgic/thinking of
  home..?
 Discussions.. Politics.. Who has time..?
Kerala people in Dubai (32 likes))
Sharjah Malayalee Samajam

  Members want to know new people
  They use it for advertising for their company
    Hamilton Malayalee Samajam
    (Australia) (35 members)
     Though much discussion is not found in this group also,
      people who seem very casual appear to be finding a kind
      of unique enthusiasm with the group. Many „shares‟ “lol
      this is the coolest group ever”.
   Toronto Malayalee Samajam
    (N. America) (130 likes)

     It was found many contents posted in the wall of this page
      are of business and job. Home-land related discussions,
      here also, seems lacking
     Some other posts like literary posts can also be rarely
      seen.
   Kerala Samajam Botswana (Africa) (54
    likes)-
     No discussion found in this relatively new Community
      page
     Its mainly appears meant to spread info. About public
      functions and gatherings.
     It also seems to be used to convey among the members
      the information like special achievements of member(s).
   Malayalees of South Africa: (Africa)
    (253 members)
     No discussion, being used to find new people


   Kerala Samajam Ethiopia (Africa) (34)
     It is also a community members of which are not
      interested in any kind of lasting discussions or
      serious sharing
 Overseas Keralites create Online communities
  mainly to get in touch, not to get into any
  „serious‟ discussions as many local Malayalees
  assume.
 It is so partly because of the divergence of the
  members. E.g.: a large section of the Gulf
  Keralites do not have education beyond
  primary level. They are unaware of virtual
  public spheres though they have „account‟ in it.
 Also, many of them are not living in conditions
  in which they have free and unrestricted access
  to the net.
   Not Diasporic, still non-resident
   Around 200 members
   More effective because of its nature
       -homogenous and easy to get
       connected physically.
   Facilitate physical contacts.
   As of educated youth, discussion on
    various topics could be seen –on home
    politics, student activism, art and literature.
Thank you…
