[Draft]. Migration, Identity Attachments, and Political Preferences. 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), a citizen survey (n=1725), and 28 in-depth interviews, I find that migrants prefer more educated politicians, place less importance on co-ethnicity when evaluating candidates for local council positions, and exhibit a stronger preference to vote for national parties over regional ones compared to non-migrants. These findings are consistent with classical modernization theories in which increasing spatial mobility through rural-urban migration heightens national identification, eroding the influence of local ethnic attachments in shaping political preferences. .
