Description
Punjab and Bengal were divided to form constituent units of India and Pakistan, this process entailed mass exodus of refugee movement across newly curated borders. This paper takes the plight of movement of people across India and Bangladesh borders through three stages forming new political nomenclatures or categorical identities namely, refugee movement, migration fearing persecution, infiltration involving crime and terror. Aforementioned three stages in a historical timeline has produced new dimensions to politics of recognition and representation. They have remained marginalized in their socio-economic engagements with the state of origin and the chosen host state. Here host state is an involuntary entity. Hence, investigation through human security approach will enhance an in-depth knowledge development of the population who have become transnational subject and a source of crisis between India and Bangladesh (earlier East Pakistan).
