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.
