Crisis and camaraderie

Migration has been part and parcel of humanity. Most of the existing human cultures have a story of migrating from one place to another. When human beings were leading a nomadic life, migration was not considered as a problematic matter. However, with the emergence of nation states, the process of migration is seen either as a problem or as an opportunity. Philosophers have the responsibility to relect and to relate on migration as it is one of the vibrant themes and issues in the discussions of present governments. Many of the countries are in the process of making policies for the migrants. In this context, philosophical wisdom can ofer ample suggestions to the policy makers to better the lives of the migrants.
