This talk provides a historical perspective on internal and international migration associated with India and links it with contemporary issues such as social values, federalism, nativism, urbanization and linguistic politics. Starting from the middle of the 19th century, many parts of India have experienced ‘The Great Indian Migration Wave’ that continues till date, affecting the fortunes of hundreds of millions of Indians in selected migration corridors and in places outside India. Which are these places? How do people see migration and migrants? What is the future of migration in India? These are some of the issues addressed by the talk.
