The objective of this work is to explore various issues related to internal migration in the North West Pakistan. Specifically, an attempt is made to verify various theories related to rural urban migration in the context of Pakistan. It is well known that economic considerations are of primary importance for rural urban migration in normal situations. But what if the masses are faced with abnormal situations such as faced by the people of North West Pakistan during 2009-10.this work shows that economic considerations still occupies the central importance even though survival is the ultimate objective of forced migration.

"Being Faithful in Diversity considers the facts and natures of religious diversity and examines responses to them. It then explores the more difficult issue about how it is we are to be true to our religious positions and live within the context of religious diversity. The challenges we face include the fact of religious diversity in itself, the decline of old supports for faith, the disappearance of former taken for granted starting places, such as the monarchy, the British empire and Christendom; and finally the rise of and presence of newer forms of inter-religious competition and conflict. Newspapers are full of images of religious conflict overseas and reports of religious competition and conflict at home. Is it possible to negotiate the competing demands and claims between religious groups and the competition and conflict between them and secularist groups?"--Back cover.

This book sheds light on one of the most controversial issues of the decade. It identifies the economic gains and losses from immigration--for the nation, states, and local areas--and provides a foundation for public discussion and policymaking. Three key questions are explored: What is the influence of immigration on the overall economy, especially national and regional labor markets? What are the overall effects of immigration on federal, state, and local government budgets? What effects will immigration have on the future size and makeup of the nation's population over the next 50 years? The New Americans examines what immigrants gain by coming to the United States and what they contribute to the country, the skills of immigrants and those of native-born Americans, the experiences of immigrant women and other groups, and much more. It offers examples of how to measure the impact of immigration on government revenues and expenditures--estimating one year's fiscal impact in California, New Jersey, and the United States and projecting the long-run fiscal effects on government revenues and expenditures. Also included is background information on immigration policies and practices and data on where immigrants come from, what they do in America, and how they will change the nation's social fabric in the decades to come.
