Abstract: India has one of the world's most diverse and complex migration histories. With the expansion of British rule in India, large-scale migration and settlement of Indians into Southeast Asia began. The Indians came largely as the labour class. The Indians were in the minority in all the Southeast Asian countries and were affected by the political and economic processes of the countries in which they lived. The grievances of the Indians encouraged them to organise themselves for their rights. Their social and economic conditions were not satisfactory. Their bitter experiences led them to form many organisations and associations in Southeast Asia. The study deals with the Indian organisations in Southeast Asia, which were formed for their rights. These were social, economic, religious, and political in nature. The main objectives of these organisations and associations were to promote and safeguard the social, economic, and political rights of the Indian community.
