This article analyzes the migration experiences and strategies of Indian middle-class professionals living in Wrocław, Poland. Drawing on qualitative research, I explore the question of how and why they move to Wrocław. I argue that they see Wrocław not so much as a city of interest in Poland and as their chosen destination, but rather as an entry point to the developed world. For Indian migrants, moving to Wrocław is primarily a strategy for increasing social status and gaining new experiences that may be understood not only in terms of individualization processes but also in the context of building cultural capital.

弗罗茨瓦夫的印度中等移民：移民经验和策略研究

本文分析了居住在波兰弗罗茨瓦夫的印度中产阶级专业人士的移民经历和策略。利用定性研究，我探讨了他们如何以及为何搬到弗罗茨瓦夫的问题。我认为，他们认为弗罗茨瓦夫并不是波兰的一个感兴趣的城市和他们选择的目的地，而是作为进入发达国家的一个切入点。对于印度移民来说，移居弗罗茨瓦夫主要是一种提高社会地位和获得新体验的策略，这些体验不仅可以从个性化过程的角度理解，还可以在构建文化资本的背景下理解。
