Migration has been a constant in the history of Pakistan, even before the India-Pakistan partition. From its inception, its people have been moving in migratory waves. This migration of people started with the moving of millions of people from India into Pakistan when the two nations gained their independence from the British colonial rule. These Muslims moved to Pakistan in hopes of a better life, not just economically but socially and religiously as well.
As the population in Pakistan swelled with the movement of people from south to north, the masses also started an internal migration from the rural areas to the urban. As with the first migrants, these people also came with the hope of a better life.
