“Infiltration” is a global phenomenon. Peoples, like water, which have a tendency to make out their own
echelon – called ‘migration’. The poor seek to prosper by moving first from the countryside to cities, then beyond
the international borders of states and countries.
At present, the contention “Bangladeshi” (in India, they are called ‘minority community’) has contributed
to ‘a silent demographic invasion’ in the North-Eastern States of India, which is a malicious exaggeration.
Demographic statistics prove the problem involves fugitives’ poor people feeling misery in search of a better life.
Although, a section of minority community said, “It is the issue as communalized as in India in that
‘Hindu’ are treated as refugee and ‘Muslim’ as infiltrator”. But the fact is that, the political, economic and
sociological observers said or referred to ‘Hindu Migrants’ as refugees because they fled from former EastPakistan,
(that is, East-Bengal or locally called – Purba Bangla), presently - Bangladesh for fear of religious
persecution and say they should be granted asylum in India. But the ‘Muslim Migrants’, as ‘foreigners’, who have
socio-economic reasons that is, better food, cloth, shelter and job and it is true, as a developing nation India
cannot afford added burdens on its economy.
