World Bank Study Finds Conservative Gender Attitudes Among Kerala's Saudi Returnees
A World Bank study found that migrants returning to Kerala from Saudi Arabia hold more conservative attitudes toward gender-based violence compared to non-migrants and those returning from other Gulf countries. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor described these findings as "disturbing" and called for introspection and dialogue within Kerala's Muslim community. The study highlights a contrast between these imported attitudes and Kerala's longstanding traditions of gender equality and communal harmony. The findings have sparked discussion on the social impact of migration beyond financial remittances.
