Citizenship

Question

Examine the resistance that builds up among the local people.

Answer

Often resistance builds up among the local people against so many jobs going to people from outside the area, sometimes at lower wages. A demand may develop to restrict certain jobs to those who belong to the state, or those who know the local language. Political parties may take up the issue. Resistance could even take the form of organised violence against ‘outsiders’. Almost every region of India has experienced such movements.
