Answer:
The reasons for migration can be many and they are often driven by multiple motives, mainly for employment among males and females, marriage especially among females. Eisenstadt, SN 1953, defined migration as the physical transition of an individual or a group from one society to another. This transition normally involves abandoning one social setting and entering another, a different one.
There is a significant contribution to the growth of Indian cities from internal migration. The Indian Constitution guarantees freedom of movement and freedom to settle within the territory of India as a fundamental right of all citizens (Article 19). But this article only remains in the constitution and is not followed by the citizens of the country. Though the freedom to settle is followed by the migrants, few self-proclaimed communities hinder their freedom of movement. These discriminations are rampant especially in the metropolitan cities as there is a huge amount of population migrating to these cities for employment and a better standard of living. Migrants are more vulnerable to discrimination and exploitation as many of them are poor, illiterate and live in slums and hazardous locations prone to disaster and natural calamities. There is a lack of urban policies and programmes catering to the needs and settlements of migrants.
The growth of the cities eventually attracted more migrants and housing societies have often denied homes on the basis of religion, caste, food preferences, and even professions.
A recent incident that happened in Nagpur in the colony where I reside, a Marathi speaking flat owner entered into a verbal fight with a tenant and his family. The tenant’s previous residence was in Hyderabad, his native town and he had migrated for work along with his family. The issue was about parking cars in the allotted slot and the tenant had encroached his allotted parking space for which he proudly mentioned that he has paid an amount of one lakh to the developer. It all got zeroed down to one aspect that migrants from South do not have the ability to adjust and stay in harmony with other residents of the apartment. This derogatory statement shows the ideas that people have against migrants from the southern part of the country and how the discrimination against them occur. The psychology of people has divided India into four parts of the country namely-South, North, North-East, and West. These cases happen with migrants who relocate to a place with different culture and local language. These are the invisible and unidentified problems that are unaccounted for and migrants eventually isolate themselves from other residents of the city.
