Was going through my home library in Mumbai today, and stumbled across a few works that I contributed to over the past decade on migration in the Gulf and SE Asia and was humbled to find this mention by Mohsin Bhai, by original migration mentor in Singapore. I am touched by his kind mentoring and is ever grateful to him.
I have often been cancelled by academics who think that they can easily cancel a non PhD researcher, but they don’t see that I do migration research in praxis as a calling as a second generation migrant, and not for the h-index. You know who you are, and the news is that I will around for a long time.
Another notable mention is Adrian Pereira, who has been incredibly supportive in the journey as mentor for the last few years.
Gratitude as always.
