Abstract
Every year in the world, millions of people get uprooted from their respective homelands to escape persecution, war, human rights violation, political upheaval etc. It is because of the wars and political conflicts that millions of people get uprooted from their own homeland and have to live a life of exile. In this way, it is the conflicts and the violence which become the fundamental reasons for the refugee problem. (UNHCR). When the conflicts or civil wars rise in a particular place a huge population have to get displaced and get uprooted from their homeland. The government adopts some ways for their political opponents like harassments, human rights violation; ethnic cleansing is done in the wake of domestic politics, which in turn also effects a huge population of the area who are the left with no choice except running away from their homeland. Some governments create such situations for their own benefits. (Idean Salehyan) The overall refugee problem is a complicated matter in itself and so are its causes and consequences. When we look at the refugee problem keenly it is always an individual who is a victim and who faces the consequences in one way or the other. On the practical grounds, it can be said that refugee problem is a humanitarian problem, ethical and developmental problem which the mankind is facing. (Hakovirta, 1988). The present study focuses on the problems of the West Pakistan refugees, they have been facing since their migration. These people migrated to the J&K State from West Pakistan in 1947 due to the Partition of India. These refugees in Jammu and Kashmir State have been struggling for their basic rights and identity. Keywords: human rights violation, homelands, refugee problem.
