ISSUES AND TRENDS
Migration trends in Eurasia and South Asia reflect a common feature--dominant communities are engaged in multi-level competition as well as collaboration. These trends are analysed in both short-term and long-term historical perspectives and the locales of settlement have been emphasised. The profile of the migrant has also assumed great prominence. Elaborating about the patterns of migration in Siberia, Central Asia and India, scholars in the volume have discussed related issues on these aspects and diverse migrant experiences. The volume not only deals with migration as a specimen but also as a tool of interdisciplinary research. Demography, another related aspect of migration and the dispersal of population across the Asiatic borderlands is another focus. The intricacies in the Russian Far East have been compared with those of eastern and north-eastern regions of India.
