Changes in hinduism
Studies and observations diasporic communities have became quite important in recent years. Diaspora is a term given to a group of individuels who have moved away from their mother country and established themselves in a new country. This new country is different from their orignial country. The word diaspora was associated with the Jewish people, because they were dispersed and lived outside of thier homeland because of religions or other reasons.

In Canada, as well as other countries I suppose, the Hindu family and friends gather around the body at a funrral home for the cremation.
