Where and Why Do People Move? Crash Course Geography #32

People have been migrating and transplanting since before recorded history, and understanding the reasons why people migrate can help explain some of the cultural, economic, and political patterns we see around the world. Today, we’re going to mostly focus on the Indian diaspora, which is the largest in the world with over 18 million people of Indian descent living outside of India. And through this lens, we’ll teach you about many different types of voluntary and involuntary migration throughout history and around the world.

[@storm1968eu]

i keep on being amazed how good this series of crash course geography is: very informative, balanced, to the point, comprehensible and stacked with relevant examples.

[@diwanumam1507]

Migration and refugee situations throughout history can be an amazing entire series.

[@qpSubZeroqp]

Agreed

[@cyrusthegreat7030]

Good idea, tho the comment section will be hell as usual.

[@andrewwilliams7390]

Wasn't expecting my home country to Pop up in Crash Course. Have a lot of Indian family and friends though third generation mixed myself 🇹🇹

[@VanaeCavae]

Thank you for showing this. I am a Singaporean of Indian descent. My ancestors left South Asia (India) and settled in South East Asia (Singapore) in the 19th century.

[@pg2826]

How is diaspora determined and how far back in time does it go? For example why is the British moving to overtake North America, Australia, New Zealand etc. not considered a diaspora?

[@kingston872]

This push pull factors follows the Evert Lee Model (1966). In addition to push and pull factors there are also intervening obstacles like distance from the area of destination area, strict migration policies and dangerous water.

[@gradientO]

Loving this series!

[@WishyWashyMF]

I have a global history test this week, thank you so much this helped a bunch :D

[@rizkyfajar2393]

I love crash course geography so much...... You always bring us new insight and konwledge

[@qpSubZeroqp]

Amazing episode

[@kinenikmo]

Excellent work.

[@karenvillamizar1070]

I really appreciate your work! It has great key ideas of migration that inspire me for doing a project with my students :)

[@discoghost6168]

Great video.

[@Marshano100]

You are talking about my ancestors, from Suriname 🇸🇷

[@DK-DYL]

Thank you for covering our little country Trinidad and its colonial history.

[@jayayerson8819]

I know you have to simplify for time, but as a member of the Indian diaspora, I feel it's only appropriate to mention that India is less like a country and more like 3 historic empires in a trench coat.

[@GeeBee212]

What wasn't covered was why Trinidad didn't just use the formerly enslaved for labor.

[@kellbing]

I love that you have pet rats. They are the best pets I have ever had!

[@SagaciousEagle]

I demand more story on the rats. I love rats, mice, hamsters, they give me peace, keep me calm and composed.

[@cameronserl4623]

That Rattlesnake calathea!

[@BlinkSh0t]

Anybody from TRINIDAAAAAD?! Also...Pronouncing Tobago properly. 🔥🔥🔥

[@heathercalun4919]

7:41 That figure sounds WAY TOO LOW! Like, I'm glad if the net sufferings and death globally is only 5,000, as grim as that would be. But I'm more perturbed that even this estimate might be letting millions slip through the cracks.

[@dreytura1861]

Does John Green still do videos? I’m watching a lot of his old videos that relate to what I’m doing in class right now.

[@axelvarela54]

he does history and literature. this is geography

[@ioannisaliazis]

Slave labor in Dubai is probably part of the “involuntarily” mentioned huh? 🤣 Also, maybe you can share some words about the presenters in the description? Would be nice for people to know more about them and their story / qualifications 😊

[@urooj09]

I think involuntary was meant migration and fleeing places of danger. Most labour in Dubai come willingly to earn money.

[@CommieHunter7]

Usually the first vid in the series, the introduction to, covers the presenter and their credentials.

[@eobardthawne6903]

Alternate title: How Indians migrated to other parts of the world.

[@forgotten1s]

[@uzbektrucker]

If most american watch Crash Course, the world will be a better place!

[@DuranmanX]

Wonder if it's just a coincidence that the next African-American Crash Course will be on the Great Migration.
