Synopsis

In India, internal migration within the country becomes a greater problem straining the social fabric and creating social tensions. This book entitled ‘The Guest and The Host: Problems of Migration in Manipur’ gives an idea of the historical process of migrant’s integration in Manipur and technical challenges in creating sense of nationalism. Explanation of the theories and analysis of the practical situations have been described with anthropological model. It gives the authors an immense pleasure that a large section of academicians, research scholars, students of multiple disciplines – anthropology, sociology, demography, history, political science etc. will be benefitted with this research oriented book and with the books of its kind. India, in spite of having the ideology of unity in diversity could not success its goal because of our incapability to harvest the fruits of globalization and modernisation. Rather, the gap between the poor and the rich, between the migrants and the host society has also developing at a greater magnitude. Apart from internal migration problems, some states of India are hugely infiltrated with illegal immigrants through porous international boundaries particularly in the North-Eastern Indian states. It is surely one of the painstaking challenges to the political administration of the Indian community as a whole. Vaishnavism became the dominant religion of Manipur during the reign of Garib Niwas or Pamheiba (1709-1748). With the assimilation Bengoli Brahmins into the Meitei, caste system which has two Varna castes, the Brahmins and the Kshetriyas appeared. Manipur has been resided by a number of ethnic groups inclusive of migrants and original peoples. Among the major migrant communities, the Nepalis, the Bengolis, the Punjabis, the Telis may be mentioned. The arrival of the migrants may be broadly classified as the early and the later arrivals. Their way of adaptation or entry has been analysed by adopting the theory of liminality which had been first used by Arnold Van Gennep in his work ‘Rites of Passages’ where an initiand or transit traveller came across three phases throughout his life stages viz. Separation, Liminal and incorporation. Each process of movement or transitivity is characterized by these three phases and the concept of liminality has been applied to the migrants who has been separated from the place of origin, still in a phase of marginality who are waiting for incorporation to the place of destination. The liminal phase is described as the individual acquires the experience of becoming completely detached from the reality. This book ensures to draw a picture and analytical understanding on the problems of migration as it is, and forecasting the future dilemmas as because of conflicts arise out of migration. The contemporary relationship between the guest and the host society out of migration has been laid down coupled with various conflicts, culture crisis, xenophobia and culture shock not only in India but also in many developing nations. This is an informative alarm to all section of Indian society as well as a piece of knowledge contributing to the academic literature.
