Case Study - 68 to 72 (Question Id - 96)
Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow
The Constitution of India (Article 19) gives the right to all citizens to "to move freely throughout the
territory of India; to reside and settle in any part of the territory of India" which leads to two main types of
migration: first, internal migration, i.e. migration within one country, and second international migration,
which means the movement from one country to another. The reasons for migration can be divided into
two main aspects, the so-called "push" and "pull" factors. Push factors are those in their old place which
force people to move. Pull factors are factors in the target country which encourage people to move;
these include peace and safety, a chance of a better job, better education, social security, a better
standard of living in general as well as political and religious freedom. Since the 1830s, international
migration from India under British rule comprised largely of unskilled workers from poorer socio-
economic groups who went to other colonised countries.
Between 1834 and 1937, nearly 30 million people left India and nearly four-fifths returned
Post-Independence, migrants came from richer socio-economic groups, from wealthier parts of the
country and, with the exception of the large migration to the Middle East, went industrialised. The
migrant stream to the United States in particular has been the most highly educated, both compared to
other immigrants into the US, as well as to other Indian migrant streams abroad since the 1990s,
increasing numbers of skilled emigrants from India have also been moving to Australia, Canada, New
Zealand and Singapore.
Migration of persons within national borders is far greater in magnitude than migration across
international borders and has enormous potential to contribute to economic prosperity, social cohesion
and urban diversity. Internal migration is an essential and inevitable component of the economic and
social life of the country, given regional imbalances and labour shortages, and safe migration should be
promoted to maximise its benefits. However, in the absence of a coherent policy framework and
strategy, migration imposes heavy costs on human development through poor labour arrangements and
working conditions of migrants, and obstacles in their access to shelter, education, healthcare and food.
Migrants constitute a "floating" and invisible population, alternating between source and destination
areas and remaining on the periphery of society. In India, internal migration has been accorded very low
priority by the government, and policies of the Indian state have largely failed in providing any form of
legal or social protection to this vulnerable group.
