The agony of the poor homeless millions fleeing from big cities has shaken the collective conscience of the nation. Despite some heart-warming stories, as for example that of a constable sprinting to hand over milk for a baby on a running train, massive kitchens by civil society and governments, roadside shelters to rest before continuing their arduous journey, etc., they suffered hugely. Thankfully, the ugly problem seems to have ended. The media is now reporting about ‘reverse migration’, aided by generous incentives from the industry and farming community.
Hopefully, things will settle down. Some migrants will never return to the cities and employers would have to find alternatives. Those who stay back in their villages may find jobs under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGnREGS) while some could get absorbed by local farmers. However, the focus of my story is to get down to the ‘genesis’ of the problem: (a) Why are there so many migrants – 100 million as informed by the government? (b) Why did they decide to rush home? (c) Is there a permanent solution to this complex issue?
