Human Rights of Refugees are one of the major problems of the world. India is a very enormously populated country and is one of the countries experiencing refugees lately. A refugee is any person whose life is under constant threat or the living conditions are not conducive for his healthy survival and he runs for shelter to another nation. However, the exact definition is, any person who “owing to well founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion is outside the country of his nationality and is unable or unwilling to avail protection of that country”. There are certain lacunae in this definition because it does not include the present-day problems related to refugee protection. India continues and will continue to be the host country since times immemorial for a large number of refuges not only from neighbouring countries but from other parts as well due to its geographic location, democratic government, religious tolerant society and goodwill. India though is not a signatory of the 1951 Refugee convention but it has ratified a number of other human rights treaties which imposes obligations to provide protection to refugees. Many countries in the world have a proper rule governing refugees living in their country and the protection that should be given to them but in India, there is no uniform legal framework. The researcher in the present paper highlights the laws and rights available to refugees in India. Researcher also presents the information about Laws and conventions regarding refugees.
