Migration is often presented as a threat to national sovereignty, state security as well as to the economic, social and cultural well – being. On security, all of the attention has been on national security, terrorism, extremism and crime. Hence, there is an alternative concept, human security, which emphasizes that the government’s responsibility is not only to protect the territorial security and sovereign integrity of the state, but also the freedom and rights of its citizens. Thus, the notion of human security provides an opportunity to broaden our understanding of the economic, social and political challenges associated with migration, from the place of origin, to transit, arrival and (re) settlement in a new location. South Asia homes about one fourth of the world’s population, making it both the most populous and the most densely populated geographical region in the world. This region has witnessed mass migration as many of the countries have emerged through partition. The book consists of 11 chapters by scholars from India, Nepal and US on different aspects of migration and human security of South Asia such as impact of remittance on livelihood of Dalits of Nepal, illegal migration of Assam and Bangladesh, impact of Climate change in migration, Rise of anti-immigrants sentiments in South Asia and internal migration in South Asia. Dr Binodkumar Singh highlights the main features of migration in South Asia, impact and vulnerabilities of women migrants. He also discusses the migration policies of South Asia. Dr Sriparna Pathak explores the history of migration across porous borders and examines how a mixture of languages leads to the shaping of identities. Dr Prakash Upadhyay looks at the impact of remittance on the livelihood of Dalit community of Western Nepal.
