In contemporary Britain diasporisation has embarked on a platform that encounters a transcendental time of redefining national infrastructure as hybrid\, multicultural and significantly untra ditional. This time factor works intrinsically for the diasporisation of S outh Asians in Britain. Time is not merely meant to be a chronology of eve nts for them\; rather their run has always been against the time\; they ha ve encountered endless roughness of time to make their presence felt in th e land of colonisers.\n\nEventually they have made their own time\, set th e time beyond its conventional flow by challenging a range of burning real ities from the impact of decolonisation\, racial discriminations to the fo rmation of post-ethnic identity. South Asian diasporas in Britain have und ergone several stages of cultural metamorphosis and now have crossed the p eripheral threshold of Britishness. This is to say that they have transcen ded the framework of postcolonial otherness to become British with complet eness. These dislocated migrants are now situating themselves in a transce ndental time of post-diasporic landscape celebrating the emergence of mult icultural Britain. This paper will attempt to investigate South Asians and their times in Britain in the context of their cultural transformations.\ n\n \;\n\nRead more about UFV's SASI CATEGORIES:*_UFV Events,Centre for Indo Canadian Studies,Centre for Indo-Canadian Studies,International,Research and Graduate Studies,Research Events,South Asian Studies Institute,Student Services,Study Abroad,SUS (Student Union Society),UFV Cascades Campus Recreation LOCATION:South Asian Studies Institute (F125)\, 1385 McKenzie Road\, Abbots ford\, BC\, V2S 7M8\, Canada GEO:49.0271599;-122.28259600000001 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=1385 McKenzie Road\, Abbots ford\, BC\, V2S 7M8\, Canada;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=South Asian Studie s Institute (F125):geo:49.0271599,-122.28259600000001 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Vancouver X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Vancouver BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20190310T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0800 TZOFFSETTO:-0700 TZNAME:PDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
