2. E.g. Wang Gungwu, Don't Leave Home: Migration and the Chinese (Singapore, 2001), argues that migration abroad started reluctantly only after the Opium War. Migration across the Indian subcontinent in the pre-British period is largely under-researched. Intra-regional migrations sponsored indirectly by the state took place. For example, troop movements across the Indian subcontinent, a fairly continuous affair for most of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, involved the entire family and such camps of several thousands resulted in new settlements after every military campaign.
