@tearsintherain I’m not talking about policy and Modi’s posturing though, I’m talking about facts. Who is trying to immigrate there.
Browse the UN’s India refugees website, that will tell you everything you need about the thousands of refugees there.
The Myanmar border has had hundreds of people over it this year. Your link says they just deported a few dozen.
As your link points out, India’s like the US in that it’s not a signatory to the United Nations Convention on Refugees, so their status is precarious. Nevertheless, there refugees in India, that’s simply a fact.

Ah, yeah I agree with that. Modi is very concerning and the plight of refugees right now in India isn’t great. Their children are also born stateless.
My focus was on raising awareness that there are refugees there. A lot of people don’t seem to realize that most of the world’s refugees are actually hosted in low income nations where they have sought refuge.

Thanks for the link to the Diplomat article by the way. It’s a good article.
The fact that modi’s government is trying to deport immigrants doesn’t mean that people don’t want to move there - in fact, the fact the gov is doing so is the whole point of the article

Not sure why you felt the need to define both terms, but since you bring it up, note that refugees are a subset of immigrants.
But none of what you’ve said addresses the point I was making; the fact that Modi is deporting refugees (who are, by definition, a form of immigrant) doesn’t mean that nobody wants to migrate to India.
