UPDATE: Starting in 2014, the Indian government began taking several positive steps to address the influx of Pakistani Hindu refugees, including providing long-term visas. And in 2019, the government passed the Citizenship Amendment Act, a humanitarian law to provide amnesty and fast‑track citizenship to religiously persecuted refugees from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh, who sought refuge in India before 2015. This will give refugees the requisite legal status to apply for jobs, acquire bank loans, buy property, and receive government benefits.
