odd reason for migration

DateThursday, October 23, 2008 at 11:04AM

This is weird.

I just read a study based on a survey of over 9,000 migrants in Mumbai.  The top 3 reasons for migration:  employment, marriage and family feuds.

Family feuds are number 3??  There is an interesting story in there somewhere.  The study is detailed, but didn't elaborate on this particular finding. 

The Census of India does not list family feuds as a reason for migration.
