Abstract
There is cordial nexus between migration and culture in the context of globalization. Labour migration from India to the Gulf countries is a consequence of globalization. The present study examines the nexus of migration and culture in the context of labour migration from Uttar Pradesh to the Gulf countries using an ethnographic approach through field work from November 2017 to December 2019 in Uttar Pradesh as the root, Mumbai as the transit destination and the United Arab Emirates as the international destination. The findings from the study show that there is interconnection between internal and international migration because of the culture of migration from Uttar Pradesh to the Gulf via Mumbai. This has resulted in the development of the concept of safe zone of migration.
