Just curious,  if you had a decent roof over your head and food on the table, would you move to a place for more luxuries given that you would face hostility? 

Depends. On future prospects. Would you be ok being rural farmer, ignorant of technology when people of other castes and religions are becoming more educated due to opportunities provided by govt to them. And you are humiliated in your own land for dreaming of independence by your neighbors. 

Also you can see the writing on the wall, that farming income will not be enough to sustain modern lifestyle and no prospects for marriage

I wonder what those thugs looked like?

That's an oxymoron maybe? If you want to live a 'modern lifestyle' you have to buy into and support the culture and economy that develops such things. Not just foot drag to preserve some feudal society that is at odds with the very modernity you crave so much.   

Plus farming income has always been problematic and unsustainable, hence all the strategies by people from that society to try and counterbalance this, which historically have been migration to urbanised societies or joining the army.
