By Rabindra Nath Tagore

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls; Where words come out from the depth of truth; Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection; Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit; Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action---

Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

Rabindra Nath Tagore

Nice thought Mr. Harsh! But I have a view on that too! If the number of people will keep on increasing in a particular place or city, there comes one point where the opportunity ceases. In the process of urbanization we have to sometime restrict the infusion of [Many] number of people migrating to that city. It is for this reason, for the example you gave, of Mumbai, we have such a huge number of population living below standard and the so called slum area....so many beggars, that the city is not able to take them all...However, this thing doesn't look practical in places like India where people migrate to places where they feel they can get jobs and eventually are jobless and being jobless increase the crime rate in the city....! This is possible in other countries like USA or any other European country where the person needs to show a valid reason for getting into a state which is already so much populated or has reached his limit!
[This is just a thought]

A heart touches you, a heart becomes yours. Heart loves heart, that’s for sure. A heart so beautiful, a heart so cheerful. A heart beat, a life A heart beat, an eternity......... A heart, a science A heart, a conscience................ A heart, create differences A heart, makes differences............... A heart, sells for a pence. A heart, just fragrance.................. A beautiful heart, a sweet heart.................

Here i will write about the people who migrate from their own place in search of livelyhood. They see the opportunity somewhere else and , it eventually prove that their was no demand or opportunities at their own place,, so verifying law os Demand. Taking very simple example of people moving to Mumbai to earn their bread and butter, it simply does not mean that they are taking away the opportunities from the locals or residents of the state, it simply proves the point that they are filling the gap by provding supply where their was a hidden demand. In Mumbai where demand was created and people were supplied(migrated). In other words, people came and created new demands, get supplied and created opportunities.
