During the last decade, indigenous youth from Northeast India have
migrated in large numbers to the main cities of metropolitan India
to find work and study. This migration is facilitated by new work
opportunities in the hospitality sector, mainly as service
personnel in luxury hotels, shopping malls, restaurants and
airlines. Prolonged armed conflicts, militarization, a stagnant
economy, corrupt and ineffective governance structures, and the
harsh conditions of subsistence agriculture in their home villages
or small towns impel the youth to seek future prospects outside
their home region. English language skills, a general cosmopolitan
outlook as well as a non-Indian physical appearance have proven to
be key assets in securing work within the new hospitality industry.
Leaving the Land traces the migratory journeys of these youths and
engage with their new lives in cities like Bangalore, Mumbai,
Hyderabad and Thiruvananthapuram.
