La Republica De India

Seeking for refuge is a desperate action, and the refugee will do anything to escape from a place where danger is imminent for the individual or family, but it is important to consider all the facts involved in the decision of looking for a place is for safety. There are several issues to be taken into account before seeking for refuge in a country: economic and political situation, culture and religious matters, language, job opportunity, legal framework protection, etc.
