&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Political scientist Ashwani Kumar, whose forthcoming co-edited book titled Migration and Mobility is to be out soon, speaks on migration, inter-State workers and amendment to the Inter-State Migrant Workers Act, 1979.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;* The COVID-19 crisis for India has also become a humanitarian one involving inter-State migrants on return journeys home racked by pain and suffering and no surety of any income going ahead. Could we have an idea about the contours of this migration?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;There is a wealth of theoretical and empirical literature on the reasons behind short-term seasonal and circular migratory flows in India.

This double tragedy of migrant life is ironically further exploited by sons of soil politicians in various States of India.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;According to the Census of India, 2011, more than 450 million Indians (37%) are internal migrants who change their residence within a country&amp;rsquo;s national borders. About 30% of the migrants are youth aged 15-29 years and another 15 million are children. Women migrants are less represented in regular jobs and more likely to be self-employed than non-migrant women. Domestic work has emerged as an important occupation for migrant women and girls. Facing relentless bouts of gender discrimination at home, and on the farms as wage workers, these migrant women are forced into various forms of servitude in the domestic spaces of affluent city dwellers.&lt;/p&gt;

Could we have an idea about the contours of this migration?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;There is a wealth of theoretical and empirical literature on the reasons behind short-term seasonal and circular migratory flows in India. For a majority of migrant labourers, migration is either a livelihood accumulation strategy or survival risk reducing strategy whichever way we define the nature of migration. The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.im4change.org/farm-crisis/migration-34.html&quot;&gt;migration studies&lt;/a&gt; also confirm that the migrant labourers are the most exploited and also disenfranchised invisible citizens of contemporary India. It&amp;rsquo;s shocking that those who build fantasy cities not only can&amp;rsquo;t own a home of their own but also can&amp;rsquo;t vote in elections and treated like almost &amp;lsquo;as second-class citizens&amp;rsquo;. This double tragedy of migrant life is ironically further exploited by sons of soil politicians in various States of India.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;According to the Census of India, 2011, more than 450 million Indians (37%) are internal migrants who change their residence within a country&amp;rsquo;s national borders. About 30% of the migrants are youth aged 15-29 years and another 15 million are children. Women migrants are less represented in regular jobs and more likely to be self-employed than non-migrant women. Domestic work has emerged as an important occupation for migrant women and girls. Facing relentless bouts of gender discrimination at home, and on the farms as wage workers, these migrant women are forced into various forms of servitude in the domestic spaces of affluent city dwellers.&lt;/p&gt;

This double tragedy of migrant life is ironically further exploited by sons of soil politicians in various States of India.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;According to the Census of India, 2011, more than 450 million Indians (37%) are internal migrants who change their residence within a country&amp;rsquo;s national borders. About 30% of the migrants are youth aged 15-29 years and another 15 million are children. Women migrants are less represented in regular jobs and more likely to be self-employed than non-migrant women. Domestic work has emerged as an important occupation for migrant women and girls. Facing relentless bouts of gender discrimination at home, and on the farms as wage workers, these migrant women are forced into various forms of servitude in the domestic spaces of affluent city dwellers.&lt;/p&gt;

Ashwani Kumar, political scientist, interviewed by Nistula Hebbar (The Hindu)

-The Hindu It is shocking that those who build fantasy cities not only can’t own a home of their own but also can’t vote in elections, says political scientist Ashwani Kumar Political scientist Ashwani Kumar, whose forthcoming co-edited book titled Migration and Mobility is to be out soon, speaks on migration, inter-State workers and amendment to the Inter-State Migrant Workers Act, 1979. * The COVID-19 crisis for India has also become a humanitarian one involving inter-State migrants on return journeys home racked by pain and suffering and no surety of any income going ahead.

For a majority of migrant labourers, migration is either a livelihood accumulation strategy or survival risk reducing strategy whichever way we define the nature of migration. The migration studies also confirm that the migrant labourers are the most exploited and also disenfranchised invisible citizens of contemporary India. It’s shocking that those who build fantasy cities not only can’t own a home of their own but also can’t vote in elections and treated like almost ‘as second-class citizens’. This double tragedy of migrant life is ironically further exploited by sons of soil politicians in various States of India. According to the Census of India, 2011, more than 450 million Indians (37%) are internal migrants who change their residence within a country’s national borders. About 30% of the migrants are youth aged 15-29 years and another 15 million are children. Women migrants are less represented in regular jobs and more likely to be self-employed than non-migrant women. Domestic work has emerged as an important occupation for migrant women and girls.
