About this listen
From adventure to indenture, martyrs to merchants, Partition to plantation, from Kashmir to Kerala, Japan to Jamaica and beyond, the many facets of the great migrations of India and the world are mapped in India Moving, the first book of its kind.
To understand how millions of people have moved - from, to, and within India - the book embarks on a journey laced with evidence, argument, and wit, providing insights into topics like the slave trade and migration of workers, travelling business communities such as the Marwaris, Gujaratis, and Chettiars, refugee crises and the roots of contemporary mass migration from Bihar and Kerala, covering terrain that often includes diverse items such as mangoes, dosas, and pressure cookers.
India Moving shows the scale and variety of Indian migration and argues that greater mobility is a prerequisite for maintaining the country's pluralistic traditions.

Engaging and insightful; doesn’t merely depend on scientific facts and numbers.
I really liked the book and was looking forward to it for a while after hearing about it on Books on Toast (YouTube channel discussing books). Around 2015-2018, there was a huge frenzy about genetic tests telling you your family’s origin like 23&me. This made me curious about my family’s migration history in India. And although older people in the family have many stories to tell, they are stories that have been modified over time without any documentation or with filled with anecdotes . I was very happy to find this book which attempts to layout the migration pattern in India and outside of India and how it affected the India and Indian diaspora today. The book has a story like narrative which I like and makes it very interesting.
What I did not like
The Audio production of the book was not satisfactory.
The division of chapters could have been more granular as it is hard to go back to a smaller chapter within the bigger volumes.
The narrator has a beautiful voice but should’ve gotten regional pronunciations right.
Another personal pet peeve would be the breathing, gulping noises that could be easily filtered in the audio.

nice to know
I am glad that I picked up this book. I now know a bit more than I knew before reading this book. Good insight into the history of migration from and within Indian subcontinent.
I felt a bit of leftist undertone through the book, but then, I could be wrong....

Migrations that shaped India
The topic is very interesting but the story telling is lacking as it takes on the tone of an academic essay. The narration doesn't deliver either as his monotonous voice drones while not being at all able to lift the narrative above the humdrum details and gobbledygook.
