This Routledge publication explores the complex dynamics of Indian migration to the Gulf region, examining the social, economic and cultural dimensions of this significant demographic movement. The book provides comprehensive analysis of migration patterns, labour market integration, remittance flows and the lived experiences of Indian migrants across Gulf states. Drawing on research and case studies, it addresses key issues including worker rights, family structures, identity formation and policy frameworks affecting Indian communities abroad. Designed for academics, policymakers and students in sociology, anthropology, migration studies and South Asian affairs, this work offers critical perspectives on how migration shapes both source and destination communities whilst identifying opportunities for sustainable development and improved migrant welfare.
