Abstract

This article shall be analyzing the dichotomy between ‘migration’ which is supposed to be an act of liberation, an act of moving away from the circumstances in lieu of better ones, and the status of seeking asylum the reality of which offers completely different dimension to the individuals migrating. As we will see, the International Conventions form a better way of providing a coherent structure of rights to the immigrants, refugees and asylum seeker, they shall also be addressed in one of the sections, and the repercussions for India as it continues to not be a member party to these conventions.  

The article will also reflect upon India’s practice of Asylum which ranges from welcoming migrants on an ad hoc basis to extending the citizenship benefits to migrants hailing from a particular set of countries and belonging to a particular set of religions.
