REGION OF MIGRATION - Introduction

Introduction

The Marwari migration did not occur within a short period. Its pace was gradual and increasing in nature. One Male member of a family in Rajasthan came first to this region in quest of a fortune and stayed here for a few years doing business. After having established himself, he helped other members of his family, whom he left behind in his native place at the time of his migration, to come and join his business. Sometimes he also helped a neighbor who came in search of subsistence, by giving him a temporary engagement in his firm along with providing him the facility of free food and lodging at his basa or gaddi (office)
