This book examines the relationship between the two phases of migration during the nineteenth century that made Calcuta Port the centre of overseas emigration from specific areas of India. Starting with an analysis of the causes of large-scale emigration from parts of northern and eastern India and ending with reasons behind changes in the direction of such population movements, this volume presents a new framework for writing migration history, intermingled with industrial expansion in British India during the nineteenth century.
