Movement is a form of spatial and communal transplant from one local and social situation to another. Transfer paths bring to light the determining interchanges of civil relationships and social ranks that underpin artistic and civil national situations. Immigrants who experience those complex anatomical differences must determine to handle classes, gendered and localized civil relationships and offer the very convenient social positions within unique structures. This research builds on Amartya Sen’s competence means to conceptualize emigrants’ embeddedness in the structure of social disparities and examines the exchange between individual distinctions, properties, and advantages. Framing on the parallels between subjects in the fields of social discriminations and exodus. Against this backdrop, this study analyses the reasons for migration in South Asia and the core factors which forces masses to move from one place to other. What are the key challenges that people of this part of the World confront and how governments and regional organizations are playing their role to execute it on legal grounds?
