Emigration Is (Not) Bad: Rethinking the Debate

Image
The Ministry of External Affairs, in a question to the Rajya Sabha, gave a response that over 2 lakh Indians gave up their citizenship in 2024. Since 2022, every year, this is the figure of number of Indians giving up Indian citizenship. The past two to three years in India have seen extensive talk about the number of people moving out and relinquishing their citizenship. People also give a very catchy term for that- "Brain Drain", where intelligent and well-qualified citizens are leaving the country for opportunities elsewhere. Then there is the argument of demographic change, where regions are seeing young people leave for green pastures and old people remain with no one to take care of them. All of them are true and valid points, but there is another side of the debate which we often ignore and miss.  The causes of migration can be broadly categorised as push and pull factors.

Understanding the debates on Immigration and Deportation in USA with a Special Emphasis on the Trump Administration

Image
Note:- This article is solely for the purpose of education and awareness.  Immigration has always remained a controversial political issue across the world in recent times, especially in the West. The 2024 US elections had the discussion of immigration as one of the central narratives. At its heart was the debate on Illegal immigration. This issue was successful in bringing down the Biden Administration so badly that even Democrats lost the popular vote and all the swing states.  The words Illegal immigrants and Undocumented immigrants were talked about extensively largely indicating that both are kind of the same. But no, both of them are different as well as very indicate two very different aspects. The undocumented and illegal immigrants are not the same. Even media, social media and people use it interchangeably to suit their narratives.  Undocumented immigrants are those who are foreign-born people who do not possess valid immigration documentation, or even for ...
