Description
Summary:Migration is as old as mankind. The academic study of migration has attracted the interest of scholars from an array of disciplinary areas. It is interesting to note that as the degree of complexity of aspects and consequences of migration increases, the degree of generalisability of study of its various dimensions and their application decreases. The present comment attempts to establish that a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon of migration needs to factor in experiences from different regions particularly south Asia. The south Asian case is significant as it exhibits a combination of all possible dimensions of migration, mobility and displacement compounded by a mix of the socio-cultural and economic categories, so much so that the seemingly simple process of migration is having serious implications for domestic politics, international relations and geo-politics in some cases.
