Abstract

As Swami Vivekananda observed, “I am proud to belong to a Nation which has sheltered the persecuted and the refugees of all religions and all nations of the earth”. India has experienced a periodic influx of refugees mostly from its neighboring countries. Geographical, political, social and economic factors are responsible for this influx. Geographically India’s long open border with Pakistan, China-Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Burma and Sri Lanka allows refugees come to India. Politically, dictatorship or undemocratic forms of government formed in the region have forced their citizens to search for refuge. The people in the neighboring countries often share a common social and cultural world with Indian people. This encourages many amongst the persecuted in these neighboring countries to seek asylum in India. At present almost 300,000 refugees are being given shelter in India.
