The largest democracy, India has not either signed the 1951 Refugee Convention or it has specific domestic legislation for the protection of refugees. India claims of abiding by the well-established and thoroughly accepted principle of non-refoulement and conveying refugee protection under the inclusive Article 21 of the Constitution. Regardless of this, India continues to be a host to the largest number of refugees across South East Asia. India has implemented an ad-hoc administrative policy to harmonize protection to refugees ever since 1947. Problems of human right abuses of refugees, lack of basic amenities, discrimination between refugees have resulted in the bad impact of the nation on world stages. Therefore, the researcher looks into the role of Courts, Union Legislature and UNHCR in protecting the rights of the refugees and also suggests ideas to improve the condition by way of enacting definite legislation.
