在过去的二十年里，印度东北部各邦，特别是阿萨姆邦，出现了前所未有的农村人口外流。该区域数以千计的贫穷农村青年移徙到印度较繁荣的地区谋生，大多数在非正规部门从事非熟练劳动。虽然农村向外移民在阿萨姆邦并不是一个新现象，但过去这种向外移民主要局限于该邦。虽然阿萨姆邦的移民群体开创了这种向外移民的新趋势，但随后，土著社区也效仿。本文阐述了历史力量的相互作用，促成了这一现象及其对阿萨姆邦的农村社会景观的影响，通过尼泊尔社区，以前在阿萨姆邦的移民社区之间进行的实证研究。
The last two decades have witnessed an unprecedented rural out-migration from northeast Indian states, especially Assam, to other parts of India. Thousands of poor rural youths from the region have migrated to the more prosperous parts of India in search of livelihood, mostly as unskilled labour in the informal sector. While rural out-migration has not been a new phenomenon in Assam, such out-migration in the past was mostly confined to the state. Although the immigrant groups in Assam pioneered this new trend of out-migration, subsequently, the indigenous communities also followed suit. This paper explicates the interplay of historical forces that have contributed to this phenomenon and its impact on Assam’s rural social landscape through an empirical study conducted among the Nepali community, an erstwhile immigrant community in Assam.
