Integrated Methodological Analysis of Internal and International Migration

There is the richest colonial history of study of both internal and international migration in South Asia, especially in India, where the colonial framework of study of migration is being reflected in post –colonial aspect of internal and international migration. In these consequences, the present paper analyses the integrated methodological approach regarding the study of internal and international migration into a single framework under the approach of retrospective to prospective manner of the study design from its past to present with future implications of the integrated approach of the study of internal and international migration. Findings of the study show that there is a cordial nexus between internal and international migration in the context of the study of documented and undocumented South Asian migration under the interpretation of migration through an integrated approach with limitations of contradiction, discrimination and challenges. Therefore, the present paper encourages researchers and policy makers for conducting study of both internal and international migration into a single framework in the context of the colonial to post-colonial framework from the perspective of South Asian migration.
