Delhi: Citizenship joy turns bittersweet for Pakistani Hindu refugees who mark I-Day amid uncertainty

Delhi: Almost 250 of the 1,000 residents of the Pakistani Hindu refugee camp at Majnu Ka Tilla marked this Independence Day with particular anticipation. In 2024, they were granted Indian citizenship, while the rest of the community still waited for their applications to be processed.

For those who received their papers, the occasion was joyous but tinged with anxiety. “It was beautiful to experience the day of our freedom for the first time here. It was surreal, to say the least,” said Gomti, a resident. She added, however, that a lingering sense of alienation remains. “We have still not been accepted as residents of the country. Even the Delhi Development Authority officials have sent us a notice to vacate the place. We do not have anywhere to go.”
