Immigration Laws

Immigration Laws is specially designed for students of national law universities as well as other law education institutions. The book will also serve as a useful guide for researchers and practitioners in this field, especially from a socio-legal perspective.

The text essentially focuses on problems faced by migrating individuals, and socio-legal implications arising out of the process of immigration. An attempt has been made to analyse the various provisions relating to the immigration of people from India, assistance provided to Indians settled overseas in contributing towards the socio-economic development of their motherland, and schemes regulating various concerns arising out of NRI marriages. The book also discusses the plight of people migrating out of the fear of persecution due to being labelled as ‘refugees’, and the international arrangements made for them in the form of ‘asylum’ through the 1951 UN Convention.
