This book reconceptualizes migration studies in India and brings
back the idea of citizenship to the center of the contested
relationship between the state and internal migrants in the
country. It interrogates the multiple vulnerabilities of
disenfranchised internal migrants as evidenced in the mass exodus
of migrants during the COVID-19 crisis. Challenging dominant
economic and demographic theories of mobility and relying on a wide
range of innovative heterodox methodologies, this volume points to
the possibility of reimagining migrants as ‘citizens’. The
volume discusses various facets of internal migration such as the
roles of gender, ethnicity, caste, electoral participation of the
internal migrants, livelihood diversification, struggle for
settlement, and politics of displacement, and highlights the case
of temporary, seasonal, and circulatory migrants as the most
exploited and invisible group among migrants. Presenting secondary
and recent field data from across regions, including from the
northeast, the book explores the processes under which people
migrate and suggests ways for ameliorating the conditions of
migrants through sustained civic and political action. This book
will be essential for scholars and researchers of migration
studies, politics, governance, development studies, public policy,
sociology, and gender studies as well as policymakers, government
bodies, civil society, and interested general readers.
