Title:
Partition of India: An Analysis of Migration Policies and Religious Discrimination after the Largest Migration in Human History
By the time of the independence of India from British colonization in 1947, the Muslim movement of a separate nation-state was granted. A large number of Muslims migrated to now states of Pakistan and Bangladesh, which was the Dominion of Pakistan before its own separation.
Nonetheless, a large minority still lives in India today.
Hindus and Sikhs in the Pakistani region also migrated to India, also considering the safer place for the religious group.
Thus, India and Pakistan are the two biggest state in South Asia which resulted from the Partiton.
It is the aim of this paper to analyze both countries' migration policies vis-a-vis the religious discrimination happening with their minorities.
Approved. Good job. Don't stray from the aim.
DeleteThank you Sir! :)

Title: The Diaspora of the Chinese from Mainland China to the Island of Formosa
Back in the year 1912, Sun Yat Sen formed the Kuomintang Party which was later known as the KMT and the Nacionalista Party. Later on, this party dominated and led China. Many significant events were made under the leadership of the Kuomintang. Unfortunately, due to ideological differences, the Kuomintang Party entered a civil war against the Chinese Community Party (CCP). This war resulted to the winning of the latter. After the defeat of the Kuomintang, the party, now led by Chiang Kai Shek, fled to Taiwan with their members and established their own nation. Currently, the Republic of China also known as Taiwan serves as a home to many Mainland Chinese who were later called as Taiwanese.
The objective of this paper is to lay down the reasons which led to such diaspora as well as the effects of it to both countries. Moreover, how this diaspora has affected not just the aforementioned countries but also, the world.
This is not comparative study. This is only one flow from Mainland to Taiwan. Add another to compare it to.

Pakistan and Chinese Taipei (Taiwan)
Title: A Comparative Analysis between the Diaspora in Pakistan and Chinese Taipei (Taiwan)
The formation of Pakistan and the Chinese Taipei (Taiwan) both had similar histories. Tracing it back, the two countries were results of various challenges that India and China faced. Hence, it resulted to the division of its people. In China, the Kuomintang Party, also known as the Nacionalista Party, dominated and led the country for a significant time. However, the formation of the Chinese Communist Party alongside their ideological differences made it hard. This later on resulted to a civil war between the two parties in which the Communist Party won. Upon the defeat of the Kuomintang Party, its leaders and members fled to the Chinese Taipei (Taiwan) and established their own nation. Equally important, in India, there had been a struggle between the Hindu Indians and the Muslim Indians. As they both fight for their country’s freedom and independence, there were also significant differences such as in the context of the presence of the British. Eventually, this led to the Muslim Indians fleeing to Pakistan and establishing their own country.
The objective of this paper is to identify the indicators which led to the diaspora of the Nacionalistas as well as the Muslims. It seeks to further explain and provide deeper understanding on its correlation and the grounds of diaspora that were seen in these events.

Title: Malaysia’s Migration Policy on Indian Professional Workers in Malaysia
Brief description:
From the 1800-1920s, huge waves of Indian laborers have migrated in Malaysia to provide the labor that the Malays refused to do. Some became farmers and English teachers while some established money-lending businesses for their fellow Indians in Malaysia, since they were not qualified for loaning in British owned banks. As time passed, more Indians were given white-collared job opportunities in Malaysia. Currently, majority of the health workers and engineers in Malaysia are Indians. Indians are now also given more pay than the Malays but less than the Chinese.
This research aims to unveil important details about Malaysia's migrant workers' policy -- the implications, if there is such, of Bumiputra policy to it, the coverage of the policy in line with workers' healthcare, security, etc. Also, it would like to gauge how India protects their migrant workers through policies or bilateral agreements (Malaysia, as a case study).
This is a single case study. You need to compare. So if it's Malaysian Bumiputra bias policy against Indian Professional Workers. You need another situation to compare it with. Be sure they are similarly situated.

Title: A Comparative Study on the Plight of Overseas Filipino Workers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Hong Kong
Among all Asian countries, Hong Kong and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia boast of the largest population of Overseas Filipino Workers. For several decades, OFWs have served their host countries well, yet many are subjected to maltreatment and are demeaned as second class citizens. These OFWs also adjust to and try to live in accordance with the laws and customs of their host countries. The concept of family for these OFWs, as well as the families they leave behind, is also modified due to their absence.
The perceived threat of "Saudization" and the loss of the court case of Filipino domestic helpers seeking permanent residency in Hong Kong are some issues OFWs face today.
The researchers seek to understand how OFWs in the concerned host countries cope with second class citizenry, alien traditions, and isolation from their families.
Ok, but I don't see the similar situation between Saudi Arabia and Hong Kong. What makes them similar?
DeleteSilva, Juan Miguel V.
DeleteOur group believes that second class citizenry, alien traditions, and isolation from their families puts OFWs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Hong Kong in a similar situation.
However, we very much welcome any change in our country assignment to states in the same geographic location, say Hong Kong and Singapore, or the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Sultanate of Oman.
Approved as long as you can prove these points of similarities :)
DeleteIf not, better change one of your countries.
Thank you, sir!

Title:
Korean Diaspora in China: Political, Social and Cultural Implications and Its Effects on the Economic Development of China and Korea
Koreans are strongly rooted in their homeland. Thus, few people from Korea had left the country before the Japanese colonization in 1910. However, during the period of 1910-1945, many of them were forced to leave their home country as a result of their dissatisfaction from the colonization driven by its coercive element. Then, the character of Korean migration has changed from the 1960s, when the Korean economy began to develop and the government adopted an active emigration policy as part of domestic population. As a result of this policy, Koreans left their homeland to find better economic opportunities in other more industrialized countries.
To both previously stated ends, many Koreans migrated to China and settled therein. The year 1991 was particularly important for the Korean to China diaspora; for the first time, a complete picture of the Korean diaspora was revealed by identifying the number of ethnic Koreans in China which was about 1.9 million at that time. To this date, the Korean diaspora in China is alive and ever-expanding.
This paper seeks to assess how China and Korea impacted each other in different facets, as well as analyze their respective positive impact on bilateral trades that may have contributed to the economic development experienced by both countries to some extent.
There's reseaech data clutter. Ignor bilateral trade. Focus on the situations of migrants. And you need another country to compare the situation with. There's only one migration flow here. Korea to China. You need another migration flow to compare with. Remember that the other one should have some similarities with the other to point out valid comparison.

Title:
A Comparative Analysis on Indian and Chinese Diaspora: Centers for Business and Trade
Both Indian and Chinese diaspora can be traced historically from the early 19th century, where the first wave of large-number migration was recorded. During the era of colonization, invasion, and wars, many Indian and Chinese nationals were forced to leave their homeland and start a new life in a foreign land. Although residing overseas, Indian and Chinese nationals retained emotional, cultural and spiritual links.
As of now, India and China are the two world’s largest diaspora. China tops with 46 million “Chinese overseas”, while India lands in second place with 25 million NRI (non-resident Indians). Both populations are dispersed in different parts of the world. With a few places of concentration, there are now many countries all over the world that have their own “Chinatown” or “Little India”. Thus, the spread of the Indian and Chinese communities is undeniably continuing to increase drastically.
The aim of our paper is to conduct a comparative analysis on Indian and Chinese diaspora, as the world’s two largest diaspora, but focusing more on the field of business and trade to and from their homeland.
Approved. Narrow down destination of migration for each.

Title: Chinese and Korean Migration to Philippines: Comparative Analysis on the economic, social cultural and political effects of Chinese and Korean Migration in the Philippines
Chinese existence in the Philippines can be rooted as early as the 9th century. These Chinese people who decided to settle in the Philippines are called tsinoys. 1.6% of the 100 million population of the Philippines consists of Tsinoys, who are Filipinos of Chinese descent who were mostly born and raised in the Philippines (Carter, 1995: 54). Forty-three percent of the top 100 companies in the Philippines are owned and founded by these tsinoy businessmen often termed as “tycoons” or “taipans” (Wong, 1999:17). Lucio Tan, Go Kong Wei, Henry Sy, Andrew Tan are just some of the most famous Chinese businessmen who own the largest business enterprises in the Philippines in terms of retail trade. In 1990 the approximately 600,000 ethnic Chinese made up less than 1 percent of the population (International Business Publication, 2013: 92). Because Manila is close to Taiwan and the mainland of China, the Philippines has for centuries attracted both Chinese traders and semi-permanent residents. The Chinese have been viewed as a source of cheap labor and of capital and business enterprise. Historically, Chinese people who migrated to Southeast Asian countries to seek better opportunities lived in a relatively close circle and seldom communicated with the mainstream society, which created an unfavorable image.
On the other hand, many South Koreans living in the Philippines are attracted to the low cost of English-language education and housing than the standard of living in their native land. The warmer climate is yet another motivating factor for the recent surge in migration. The Philippines is also a popular destination for retired South Koreans on fixed pensions; the Filipino government actively promotes the settlement of South Korean retirees in the country because of the potential lucrative opportunities for the local economy. There are also known cases of North Koreans having been admitted to the Philippines as migrant workers. The history of Korean settlement in the Philippines can be divided into five phases wherein Koreans started to establish organizations and associations, started their business industry and increased the number of Korean students in the country. The Philippines also began to become a transit point for North Korean refugees leaving China en route to South Korea that was said to have no records from the Bureau of Immigration however, unnamed BI sources quoted by the media claimed that some North Korean defectors had blended into the much larger South Korean community in the country and settled down there (Esplanada, 2011).
This paper aims to analyze the similarities and differences between the Political, Economic, Social and Cultural effects of Korean and Chinese Migration to the Philippines whether the presence of the migrant Chinese and Koreans to the Philippines helped the country to develop in social, political and economic areas or it rather hampered the success of the Philippines.
What makes Chinese and Koreans similarly situated?

DeleteGood Day Sir :) Sorry we forgot to put one part for the description of our title.
DeleteKoreans and Chinese migrants to the Philippines are similar in the aspects of culture, geography and economy. Since the two countries share some similar cultural practices, as to some of the cultural practices of Korea are derived from the older civilization which is China, we would like to analyze the cultural effects that the two migrants, Chinese and Koreans have brought to the Philippines and how much it influenced the culture of the Filipinos. In economic terms, both countries are considered to be the two most developed countries in Asia, and in these paper, we would like to present the effects of the economic achievements of both countries to the Philippines brought by the migrants from Korea and China. Lastly in geographic terms, both countries belong to the same region. How the Chinese Migrants and Koreans was able to adapt to the environment of the Philippines and the effects of the adjustments made by these migrants to the Philippines will also be given focus on this study.

Countries: Singapore – Malaysia
Title: The Mobility of Indian Migrant Workers in Singapore and Malaysia as Response to National Migrant Worker Policies
From the 1800-1920s, huge waves on Indian laborers have migrated in Malaysia and Singapore, collectively situated as the British East India Company as the British provide the labor on industries with comparative advantage in the aforementioned countries. A number of migrant workers sent were delegated to work in the blue-collar occupations the Malays refused to do. Moreover, prior to the independence of Singapore, Indian workers are free to traverse its work and settlement within the Federation of Malaya (Malaysia+Singapore). Currently, majority of Indian workers are in the health and engineering sectors in Malaysia, while each sector of the economy of Singapore has a significant share of Indian workforce. Indians are now also given more pay than the Malays but less than the Chinese. Upon the separation of the two states, policies of both states changed the landscape of national appropriation on foreign migrant workers: Malaysia's Bumiputra bias policy and Singapore's pluralistic and integrational approach.
This research aims to unveil the both countries' migrant workers policy in retrospective manner. The policies are expected to orchestrate the general approach of both countries with regards to migrant workers, implicit and/or explicit. It aims to cover the implementation of the policy in line with workers' healthcare, security, etc. With these variables, it also aims to correlate the social movements (with Indian involvement) that are triggered by the distinct national policies and approaches.
