Migration has become an inconceivable complex phenomenon in our times today. It has become an issue of great concern both globally and locally as there is rising tension among the nations, regions and communities due to surge in migrant population caused by various pathetic and lucrative push and pull factors. This book makes a concerted effort to read the phenomenon of migration and address the challenges of it in multi-dimensional perspectives, especially from the margins.

The book answers the pertinent question such as, "Is migration in itself an issue?"; "Is it mere demographic or regional concern?"; "Is it mere economic and political concern or is it cultural and religious concern too?"; "Is it not the issue of humanity, human identity, dignity and human rights?"; And so, "is it not ultimately a theological concern?". While answering such questions, the book explores and highlight both the positive dimensions as well as the challenges. The book as an academic endeavour certainly will provide a conceptual tools and epistemological resource to the wider academic world about the huge challenge of theological reflection ahead, and the practical action awaited from the policy makers, civil society and the Church as a whole.
