Abstract: India had been a refuge for people fleeing repression since early times from the last half century due to the partition of India. Although India is not a party to the Refugee Convention of 1951 nor does it have refugee protection framework but still continues to provide asylums to the refugees of the neighbouring countries. However, the right to housing and shelter being one of the basic amenities to lead a life is a matter of concern as it is the most neglected aspect in the legal framework of India. Due to this there is a significant rise of slums in the cities of India which is in close proximity to border line. The Union Government along with the help of UNHCR could create a recreational home in each district to provide shelter to the homeless. After a detailed analysis, it is observed that the refugees are not only lacking housing and shelter but also jobs, education and food etc. Thus, this neglected mass of people are compelled to live in a squalid conditions in slums of cities like Delhi, Hyderabad, Jammu and in the cities of North East India too. India’s support for different refugee group has been uneven too. Many times it was observed that refoulement of this asylum seekers have grown louder over the years due to the absence of any refugee law. It is the high time for India to enact a domestic refugee law which will ensure that those fleeing violence and seeking asylum in India are not victims of the whims and prejudices of the parties and politicians. Granting refugee status to asylum seekers should be based on clear principles detailed in refugee law. Refugees should be able to access housing and shelter along with food, education and security as a matter of right rather than as a result of charity just like other countries of the world.
