Migration and security have been widely studied in international relations and political science. Migration is often presented as a threat to national sovereignty, state security as well as to the economic, social and cultural wellbeing. On security, all of the attention has been on national security, terrorism, extremism and crime. Hence, there is an alternative concept, human security, which emphasizes that the government's responsibility is not only to protect the territorial security and sovereign integrity of the state, but also the freedom and rights of its citizens. Thus, the notion of human security provides an opportunity to broaden our understanding of the economic, social and political challenges associated with migration, from the place of origin to transit, arrival and (re)settlement in a new location. South Asia homes about one-fourth of the world's population, making it both the most populous and the most densely populated geographical region in the world. This region has witnessed mass migration as many of the countries have emerged through the partition. Millions migrated between India and Pakistan and thousands during the formation of Bangladesh, ethnic conflict of Sri Lanka, Maoist Movement in Nepal and ethnic conflict of Bhutan. The book consists of 10 chapters by scholars from India, Nepal and US on different aspects of migration and human security of South Asia such as impact of remittance on livelihood of Dalits of Nepal, illegal migration of Assam and Bangladesh, impact of climate change in migration, rise of anti-immigrant sentiments and internal migration in South Asia.

However, the social, political and economic development of South Asia has been seriously hindered by conflicts. It is host to deeply entrenched ethnic hostility, communal violence and numerous wars, both inter- and intra-state. A vicious cycle of poverty, with deprivation and underdevelopment of South Asian countries has provided a fertile ground for intolerance and extremism. There is a need to overcome the bitter legacies of the past in order to create an enabling environment for peace and security in South Asia. Diverse political experiences, ideologies, ethnic identities and economic conditions across and within the states pose significant challenges for conflict management in the region. Similarly, the region has been characterised by the dynamic inter-play of security, economic and diplomatic factors reinforcing each other owing to the complex nature of territorial claims and religious extremist activities. This is evidenced by the competing political and strategic interests between the three nuclear weapon countries of the region viz: China, India and Pakistan. Unfortunately, the region has witnessed three major wars between India and Pakistan and one between India and China besides several other border skirmishes on and off at various times. Thus, there is a need of broader framework of Regional Security in South Asia for lasting peace and security in the region. The discourse on regional security in South Asia tends to be focused on the inter-state rivalry between the two largest states in the regionIndia and Pakistan. The overt introduction of a nuclear dimension into the India-Pakistan relationship has generated international interest in a South Asia preoccupied to no small extent with the threat of a nuclear confrontation and its potential effects on regional and global security. The book consists of 12 chapters by scholars from India, US and Bangladesh to point out some of these emerging conflicts of South Asia.
