Publisher's Synopsis
Human rights begin, near to home; they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. Yet they live in the world of the individual person; in the neighborhood he lives, school or college that he attends, factory or farm where he works. These are the places where every man, woman and children pursues equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they will not have the meaning anywhere else. Without determined citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world (Eleanor Roosevelt, 1958). Migration is not a recent phenomenon. The last few decades of our country
witnessed people moving from their native to another. This trend in migration is not only with the elite, educated or technically skilled but also people belonging to the category of unskilled and semi-skilled move to other destination of their choice. The exodus starts in most of the cases with the male unmarried member leaving the family in search of jobs (B. K. Sahu, 2013). Then they moved as a family leaving behind their children with the elder. The couple will return home once in every six months or a year.
