Yes, there are people fleeing largely from neighboring countries. I don't know how much of that is about choosing India. But religious fanatics have taken power in India. The RSS/BJP analogue in the US might be the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025 and conservatives. India is down a very dark path.

What’s Wrong With the Indian Government’s Narrative on Refugees?

Indian refugee claims in Canada began rising after Prime Minister Modi took power, data shows

Ah, yeah I agree with that. Modi is very concerning and the plight of refugees right now in India isn't great. Their children are also born stateless.

My focus was on raising awareness that there are refugees there. A lot of people don't seem to realize that most of the world's refugees are actually hosted in low income nations where they have sought refuge.

I see what you mean. Yeah, the focus tends to be on wealthier nations, the west and immigration.

Thanks for the link to the Diplomat article by the way. It's a good article.
