What you need to know

  • People move when something pushes them to leave and something else pulls them towards a new place.
  • Some migration is chosen. Some is forced, and refugees are people fleeing danger.
  • Movement can be seasonal, a chain of family and friends, or a later return.
  • The Indian diaspora is the example of how one migration grows into a large community abroad.
