Authors
Shubham Kumar, Dr. Aditya Raj
Abstract
This paper is based on organized and
systematic review of existing literature on migration from Jharkhand. This
province has a significant role in indentured migration from India during the
British colonial period. Indenture is synonymous with 'hill coolies,' formed from Oraon tribal
groups from Jharkhand's uplands and are portrayed as the most vulnerable of
India's inhabitants. Based on the available studies, this paper analyses
the historical perspective of migration from Jharkhand. It also analyses trends
and patterns of migration such as seasonal, tribal, rural-urban, labour and
women’s migration. Migration plays very crucial role in growth and development
of Jharkhand. It concludes by examining the growth and development of Jharkhand
in context of migration. Despite having indentured migration from Chota nagpur plateau, it is
understudied. The paper will discuss the historicity of indentured migration
and labour from Jharkhand. It will also discuss the broad relationship between
identity and indentured migration.
