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.

I really enjoyed this book. I learned a lot. India, it’s history, the people and their religions have always interested me.
The world has not seen anything yet. I foresee that India is on its way to becoming a world power.
In that context, this book should be read, especially by people from Indian descent.
The many places mentioned can be looked up on Google Earth.
I especially liked the part about the Tibetan refugees and the Dalai Lama.
The narrator did an excellent job.
My thanks to all involved, JK.
