96% of northeast migrants feel safe in Bengaluru: Study
Half of respondents say northeastern members are more united in B'luru than in their native place
Bengaluru: Amid ongoing allegations of discrimination against outsiders in Bengaluru based on language, a recent research by the Institute for Social and Economic Change (ISEC) has found that 96% of migrant workers from northeastern states feel safe in the city, describing it as a migrant-friendly place.
The research, as cited by Deccan Herald on Wednesday, aimed to document the experiences, challenges, and coping strategies of northeastern migrants living in Bengaluru. The study, titled "Gender and Identity: With Reference to the North-Eastern Migrants in Bengaluru," was authored by Dr Channamma Kambara and Dr Malini L. Tantri of ISEC. It surveyed 796 migrants from various northeastern states.
The migrants highlighted Bengaluru's job opportunities, good climate, and friendly, accommodative environment. They said the capital city offers safety and acceptance, with relatively low levels of discrimination and racism. Many expressed satisfaction with work culture, access to services, and food options.
Interestingly, the research found that 52% of respondents felt that there is greater unity among northeastern members in Bengaluru compared to their native states.
The study also revealed that a significant number of migrants, particularly women, showed a preference for settling down in Bengaluru.
However, about 28% of respondents reported facing subtle discrimination at the workplace, primarily linked to language barriers, pay disparity, gender bias, and religion.
"Nonetheless, the migrants also attend various cultural, social and festive events where they are not discriminated except that the migrants cannot follow the language and culture," the research noted.
