migrants living in Germany. The reasons for migration, social, political and
economic transformation, changing gender roles, the reasons for the changes and
consequences of migration have been dealt on. Qualitative methodology was
adopted using the in-depth interview and observation techniques.

beyond the economic returns; such as education, exploring western world and
expanding skills and knowledge. It was found that most of the migrants were

transformation in both sending and receiving countries. Migrants possess a deep
attachment with their native land as they were concerned with their country
political scenario and their loss of identity from their homeland. Also it was

cosmopolitan. It was found that the orthodox concept of gender roles were no
