About the Book

A comprehensive analysis of the diverse experiences of migration in contemporary India. This volume addresses the impact of migration on society, highlighting the interlinkages between individual and societal aspirations. It interrogates the role of the state and non-state agencies involved in various aspects of the life and livelihoods of migrant workers and provides a critical assessment of the policy frameworks and instruments affecting migration. Focusing on the diverse aspects and types of internal migration, the book studies the exploitation and marginalization of migrants on the basis of class, caste, religion, gender, ethnicity and regional location in post-reform India.

Review :
This Book is compilation of dense study on internal migration in the subcontinent. This book consists of eleven chapters which focus on some of the pertinent issues of our times related to migration and marginalization, women's mobility and migration related issues in northeast India. It tries to provide a comprehensive inquiry to the diverse prospects of migration in contemporary India. This volume tries to evaluate the impact of migration or the contemporary society by linking it to individual, society and state. Starting from the role of state to the society, it tries to examine various aspects of migrant workers. It also critically looks at various policies and schemes that are affecting migration in the contemporary Indian landscape. Author discusses the issue on the agrarian questions under globalization, uneven development along with poverty and migration and perspectives on the informal sector. He emphasizes that the interlinkages between the three aspects of economy- the agrarian context, the linkages between uneven development, poverty and migration and finally the informal economy-are crucial for understanding contemporary issues in migrations. His chapters suggests that the politics of identity and cultural anxieties have resulted in conflict between host and migrant populations. Moreover, caste, religious and racial prejudices are very much prevalent in urban labour markets. Migrants from Northeast India, Ladakh and women from various regions often face violence which restricts their freedom of mobility and employment. It also creates insecurities among them. Finally he suggests that to protect workers' rights and save them from extreme exploitation, both state and civil society action is important and crutial. --Indian Journal of Human Develpoment
