Countries such as Australia and Canada will continue to rely on immigration, much of it from South Asia. That reality carries responsibility not only for governments, but also for migrant communities themselves. South Asians—many of whom are highly visible beneficiaries of these migration systems—have a stake in strengthening social cohesion, engaging in national conversations and demonstrating, through civic participation and leadership, that demographic change can reinforce rather than fragment the societies they now call home.
