Mapping the Stateless in India

Description
-
The Calcutta Research Group's project, "Mapping the Stateless in India," investigates how various communities in India have become stateless, particularly focusing on four groups: inhabitants of Chhitmahals, Indian Tamils from Sri Lanka, Nepali-speaking populations in the Northeast, and the Chinese community in Kolkata. The study highlights that statelessness is not a singular legal category, but a spectrum of rights deprivation, exacerbated by historical and legal complexities. It questions the effectiveness of existing legal frameworks and suggests the need for stronger civil society engagement and regional conventions addressing statelessness. The report emphasizes the intertwined experiences of these communities and the need for clearer legal provisions and humanitarian practices.
