I think Skyguy is right about India: after India and Pakistan partition, millions people migrated to their “respective” areas; according to their religion.
India?
Nope, it was the forced migration of Germans out of Eastern Europe at the end of WWII. Somewheere between 13 and 17 million Germans were forcibly uprooted from their homes and forced west at the end of the war. This is a little known fact outside of Germany and people that study German history. Expulsion of Germans after World War II. How many people know that fully a third of Modern Poland and almost half of the Modern Czech Republic were ethnically German for almost a thousand years prior to 1945?

Indians ?
Yes, India and Pakistan. And my mistake, it was my geography book, not West Civ. Could be just some random estimate though as the author did not cite any references.
It sounds plausible, Lord knows the Indian subcontinent has such a huge population that 25 or 30 million people moving would be hardly noticeable, much less remarked upon too much in Western literature.
