Abstract
Global migration trends are reshaping the demographic landscape of the world. Asia is a centre for migration, with a variety of flows. Migration has an effect on the socio economic dynamics of India as well as the world. This study examines in detail about patterns of migration inside India from different parts of Asia, including the reasons for the movements, the duration of stays, and the implications of these patterns. The study used a quantitative approach and aims to offer thorough insights into the complex nature of this phenomenon by closely explaining migration statistics (such as by using the required data from different sources over different time periods). As for the (Census of India, 1991-2011), there is a continuous decline in the number of migrants coming to India from Asian countries, with a sharp decline in the migration of men compared to women.

There has been a positive growth in migration for work, business, education and moving with household, while there has been a decline in migration for other purposes.
