India, the biggest democracy in the world, has not ratified the 1951 Refugee Convention and does not currently have any specific domestic laws protecting refugees. India asserts that it upholds the internationally acknowledged and firmly established principle of non-refoulement and offers refugee protection under Article 21 of the Constitution. Despite this, India remains the nation hosting the greatest number of refugees in South East Asia. India has implemented an administrative policy that is ad hoc in order to standardise refugee protection since 1947. Due to problems with discrimination against refugees, human rights violations, and a lack of basic amenities, the country has a bad reputation abroad. Therefore, the researcher looks into how the UNHCR, the Union Legislature, and the courts protect the rights of refugees and makes recommendations for how to improve the situation by enacting particular laws.
