The current state of Maharashtra politics should give you some idea of what will happen when, courtesy global warming, drought stalks the BIMARU states. The overuse of groundwater and the disappearance of glaciers, which will cause flooding as well as drought, will make our brethren continue to migrate within the country.
Where will they go? The coastal states which have rather more rainfall, and are anyway economically more developed.
What will happen? Look at the extreme actions of the Shiv Sena and the MNS when all that is at stake is the 'appropriate' distribution of the spoils of development and wealth creation and project that onto a day when it is a matter of who starves and who lives.
