The Contribution of Rural Women in the Internal Diaspora in India

Internal Diaspora of rural women in India is an important factor in migration dynamics in India. Rural women have been given a secondary position in the social, economic, educational, cultural and political spheres from ancient times to modern times. The main reason for this is the caste system, religious system and patriarchal system prevalent in India. However, in today’s era of globalization caste system, religion system and patriarchal systems have been loosened.

The study of this diaspora involves examining the causes, consequences and challenges of internal migration of rural women, particularly in relation to labour migration, marriage migration and displacement caused by development projects or environmental factors. Internal diaspora of rural women in India is a complex issue driven by multiple factors including economic need, social traditions, environmental changes and development projects. rural women in internal diaspora faces significant challenges such as exploitation, social isolation and lack of legal protection. Diaspora also brings opportunities for economic independence and empowerment to rural women. The contribution of women in the internal diaspora to the development of a country like India is multifaceted and plays an important role in shaping the social, economic and cultural fabric of the country.
