ABSTRACT
The last decades in migration research in Indian contexts have witnessed an exponential growth in literature on the diverse forms, practices, and politics of migration to illuminate the economic, demographic, geopolitical, and cultural dynamics of movements. However, most existing research has concentrated disproportionately on understanding large-scale movements and has largely ignored the various nuances that operate in intra-national migration trajectories, such as in interstate migrations. In this chapter, we address this lacuna by bringing into the conversation a computational understanding of Indian interstate migration particularly using the gender lens. We build our research in this chapter by consolidating a computational analysis of interstate migration networks within India using a gender lens and critically explore how gender migration patterns in Indian interstate migration have changed longitudinally.
