Indian Government fight against illegal immigrantion from Bangladesh



Bangladeshi Immigrants

As per 2001 census there are 3,084,826 people in India who came from Bangladesh. The census data for the state of Assam alone gives a figure of 2 million. After 2001 census the anxiety somewhat reduced when the growth rates were found to have returned to near normal level, particularly in West Bengal, thus negating the fear that there was an unabated influx of migrants.

Illegal Bangladeshi Immigrants

The illegal immigration from Bangladesh is a regular issue in Indian politics. Bangladeshi officials have denied the existence of Bangladeshis living in India and those illegal migrants found are described as having been illegal trade. They are involved in unintended consequence of an illegal actions, and disgraceful for having been involved in prostitution. Cross border migrants are also at far higher risk of HIV/Aids infection.

Apart from immigrants a large numbers smugglers regularly cross the porous border along West Bengal into India. They mainly engage in smuggling goods and livestock from India into Bangladesh to avoid high tariff imposed on some Indian goods by Bangladesh government.

Indian Government fight against the issue:

The first BJP government came into power in 1998 and subsequently ordered the construction of the Indo-Bangladesh barrier to stop migrants and illegal trade along the border. 

In 2005, Illegal Migrants (Determination by Tribunal) Act (IMDT) was established made the life of the people of Assam "wholly insecure and the panic generated thereby had created fear psychosis" and other north-eastern States. So, IMDT was unable to perform as expected.

During the time of elections for Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi said: “You can write it down. After May 16, these Bangladeshis better be prepared with their bags packed.”


Now, the Government is ready to take action. The illegal immigrants who are intercepted at the international border will be sent back to Bangladesh.
