Culture
Some diaspora 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" both with each other and with elements from Western culture.

The growing demand of popular programming for South Asians caused MTV to launch the Desi-targeted television channel MTV Desi.
