Abstract
Are the migrant workers of India yet another group of people who remain unnoticed, vulnerable class? The research studies, NSSO statistics clearly reveal that every year in the modern India 6 million people migrate from one state to another. It has clearly doubled in the last two decades. The apathy of the state machinery is that the statistics do not convey the true living status of the migrant workers. Fundamental rights and state legislations guarantee all Indians the right to live in any part of India, seek education, employment and livelihood. This poses an interesting question on their exploitation, their basic demands and the efforts of the government to protect them.
