<p>This study explores the influence of religion and spirituality&ensp;on the construction of diasporic student identity in education. Diasporic students are caught in intricate negotiations&ensp;of self-identity influenced by culture, religion and spirituality in a world that is becoming more globalised. The present study&ensp;sought to explore the association and predictive utility of religion and spirituality in diasporic identity among the target group. The&ensp;quantitative research approach was followed and the data were gathered by administering standardised scales on religion, spirituality and diasporic identity from 200 students of the University of Burdwan. Descriptive statistics, t-test, correlation, regression&ensp;and ANOVA were used to analyse data. The results indicated a strong positive&ensp;correlation among religion, spirituality and identity formation (r = 0.62, <em>p</em> &lt; 0.01) and that religion and spirituality significantly predicted diasporic identity (&beta; = 0.62, <em>p</em> &lt; 0.001). There were no significant gender differences, but the duration of stay was significant. The study&ensp;recommends that religion and spirituality are critical dimensions of identity that offer meaning and a sense of belonging. The results suggest a new consideration of culturally responsive educational practices in support of the identity development of diasporic&ensp;students.</p>
