ABSTRACT
Migration to South Korea is different to the pattern in other Asian countries, being more recent and quasi-legal in many, if not most cases. It is similar to the Sikh migration to Tokyo area which will be covered in the next chapter. Migration to Korea is not widely known and is not on the horizon of migration agents in India as a prime target. It was by coincidence that I got to know about it, while interviewing Har Rattan Singh in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2005. He mentioned that prior to his migration to Argentina, he had been working in Korea for a few years. The interview is detailed under Case Studies later on.
