The case of migrants

Migration is a phenomenon that is part of nature. Visible in both the animal kingdom, migration helps birds and animals to move from harsher environs to places that offer refuge and food. It is a part of existence that helps in the survival of the fittest. For some living beings like migratory birds it has become such a feature that they have developed special body features that helps them in their migration. However the idea of migration is not only confined to birds and animal but also extends to us mortals.
We have always had the capacity to change the our surroundings. This has enabled us to thrive in a variety of ecosystems ranging from hot and humid Sahara to the cold North pole. They are the harsh conditions created by nature over which one have no control. But environment and habitat is not the only condition why people migrate.
Migration can also have an aspirational reason. Perhaps it was the aspirations of those millions of Europeans who touched American shores in the 1800s, which has made America into what it is. The yearning and hope for a better future brought them on the American shores devoid of any material possessions. And it was this yearning and spirit of risk-taking that created great men like Henry Ford and John D. Rockefeller.
We don't need to look further to America to find the influence of migrants to our society. Even in a country like ours we have communities migrate more often. The Marwadis are one such kind of people. They are ubiquitous across the length and breadth of India. The Marwadis are people of Rajasthan, which is know for its arid climate and difficult conditions. Probably it is the hard conditions that people have to face that imbibes them with tenacity and risk taking ability. And these people have moved to different parts of India where they have struck gold with hard work and determination to succeed. This I believe is nothing but a direct out come of their industrious nature. The work done by these people not only benefits them but also helps the local populace when industries created by the migrants flourish. Take the case of the parsis. They are another community who fled from Iran and reached the port of Bombay. Here by their business acumen they have built huge empires which has not only benefited them but has also helped India to develop and industrialize.
Therefore at this juncture when I see a whole lot of benefits that the migrants bring for the local populace I wonder why politicians raise the bugle to oust migrants. After all you were happy when they worked for you. And now when they have prospered after all these years of toil and hard work why are they perceived like foes by the local populace?
As long as the country is united I don't see any reason why people cannot be allowed to move to other parts of the county to seek a better life and living. That is the reason why God gave us legs!
