Abstract
Description
The current research focuses how Indian legal system addresses the problem of statelessness within its border, when India is not a signatory to either of the stateless conventions of 1954 and 1961. India has witnessed mass migration and accusation of territory ever since it got independence, which directly related to people losing their nationality and becoming stateless. As India is not a signatory to the stateless conventions, it creates a wide gap in its domestic legislation. The fundamental human rights instruments where India is a party to are not also necessarily followed to entitle basic human rights to the stateless people.
