Displacement and Refugee Issues in South Asia

Uncovering the Contested Realities

Edited by Bulbul Siddiqi - Contributions by Bulbul Siddiqi; Pearl Monteiro; Sayantan Ghoshray; Shreyoshi Ghoshray; Mohammad Sajedur Rahman; Kaisayr Husein; Raymond Kwun-Sun Lau; Dr. Saimum Parvez; Dr. Raghu Bir Bista; Diotima Chattoraj and Dr. Mahmudur Rahman Bhuiyan

The number of forcibly displaced people globally has been on the rise in recent years. The refugee crises in the Middle East, Africa, Europe and South and East Asia are the most notable. Due to such crises, the refugee population has been a key challenge for humanity. It has also put a strain on many refugee-hosting countries as most of the displaced populations are hosted in low and middle income countries rather than wealthier countries. Force displacement creates challenges for the refugees and the host societies. Displacement and Refugee Issues in South Asia: Uncovering the Contested Realities brings out the cases of forcibly displacement from five South Asian countries: Rohingya in Bangladesh, India and Nepal, Tamils in Sri Lanka, and the Afghan refugees in Afghanistan and Europe. Bulbul Siddiqi and contributors reveal that the refugee population in various South Asian countries have been living with vulnerabilities and uncertainty due to ineffective repatriation and the lack of dignified living conditions in host countries. It requires urgent support and initiatives from global and regional powers and international humanitarian organizations to ensure that the dignified lives of these vulnerable populations in different countries.
