--. How Migration Reshapes Ethnic Attachments and Political Preferences: Evidence from Two Indian States. pp. This study uses observational and experimental data collected in two Indian states, Bihar and Kerala, to examine how exposure to migration affects social norms, identity attachments, and political preferences among migrants and left-behind family members. Drawing on insights from an original conjoint experiment (n=2,912) and a public opinion survey (n=1725), I find that migrants prefer more educated politicians, place less importance on co-ethnicity while evaluating candidates for local council positions, and exhibit a stronger inclination to vote for national parties over regional ones relative to non-migrants. These findings are consistent with classical modernization theories in which greater spatial mobility via rural-urban migration strengthens national identification, eroding the influence of local ethnic attachments on political preferences. They also reveal a broader pattern of political change in which migrants become more nationalized in their political orientations, while non-migrants remain more locally oriented.
