This document summarizes a student paper on studying migration as part of cultural studies. It defines migration as the movement of people between places with the intent to settle. Studying migration can help understand culture, human development, conflicts between cultures, and economic and poverty impacts. The paper reports on field work interviewing migrants about their reasons for settling in Gujarat, family, religion, language, food, and views on integration challenges like language and social relations. In conclusion, the author calls for addressing underdevelopment, improving synergy between migration and development, labor market outcomes, migrant rights, and social acceptance of migration.
