“The term comes from Sanskrit देश deśa- (“region, province, country”). Its first usage was found in the 200 BC text Natya Shastra, where it defines the regional varieties of performing arts (folk), as opposed to the pan-Indian margi (classical).

During the height of the British Raj, many people from the then-undivided Indian subcontinent emigrated to the UK or to other British colonies, in search of education and opportunity. The diaspora from what is now called South Asia increased dramatically following the riots and massacres of Partition. Families from the affected areas sought safety in various Commonwealth countries. Starting in the 1960s, the U.S. dramatically increased the amount of immigration permitted from Asia, leading to large immigration from the subcontinent.

Communities that have remained distinct in South Asia have tended to mix in diaspora. Some second or third generation immigrants do not think of themselves as belonging to a particular nation, sub-culture, or caste, but as just plain South Asians or Desis. Some Desis are creating what can be called a “fusion” culture, in which foods, fashions, music, and the like from many areas of South Asia are “fused” with elements from Western culture. For example, urban desi is a new genre of music formed by the fusion of traditional Indian and Western urban music.” – Wikipedia.org
