Abstract

[This chapter attempts to describe the context in which the Punjabi Indian diasporic elders, as grandparents, “do” grandparenting role in Punjabi family households in Greater Toronto Area (GTA) in Canada. Our review of literature on Indian diaspora reveals that “…in historic and ethnographic accounts of Indians living in diaspora, the elderly seem to receive much less attention than the new generation and its progress, prosperity and success” (Mehta and Singh, 2008). This is also the case for the Indian diasporic grandparents.]
