Internally Displaced People from
Kashmir: Some Observations by Charu Malhotra
In recent times the scale of conflict induced displacement has
increased, leading to the increase in the numbers of refugees or
internally displaced person IDPs. Since the end of the Cold War,
increasing numbers of people have been forced to leave their
homes as a result of armed conflicts, internal strife and
systematic violations of human rights IDPs. There is also the
desire by the international community to contain refugee flows
by providing assistance in the countries where the conflicts
originate. The present study analyzes the implications of
process of internal displacement among the Kashmiri people1. It
explores the response strategies employed by the people who got
displaced from Kashmir from 1989-1990 onwards because of the
rise of armed conflict. The displaced Kashmiri people resettled
all over India and some even moved abroad.
