Pakistan is one Muslim country which has long been troubled with Indian refugees from the past and their marginalization socio-economically. The historical migration exposes Pakistan to social violence from the refugees comprising of different
ethnicity and religion who settled in Pakistan post 1947 separation that they had to adapt with the socio-economic differences in a broader context. Hence, this research aims to study the history of the massive migration of Muslim refugees from India into Sargodha Division. It also examines the impact of their massive migration in the Sargodha division in addition to determine rehabilitation policies which were implemented on the refugees in Sargodha and lastly to analyse the roles and impacts they had on the socio-economic development in the Sargodha Division. This research engages historical approach by way of qualitative method where data was obtained through library research and field work. The primary data were retrieved from the British National Archives, British Library UK, National Archives Islamabad, Punjab Archives, Lahore, National Documentation Wing of Islamabad, Federal Bureau of
Statistic Islamabad, National Institute of Historical and Cultural Research Islamabad and Refugees Settlement Offices in Lahore and Sargodha. The field surveys were conducted through semi structured interviews on 70 informants consisting of refugees and expert groups in the Sargodha Division. The findings show that the socio-economic problem of the refugees was due to weaknesses in governance, particularly in the delay of procedures for resettlement. The selection of Sargodha as
the resettlement center saw new changes in socio-economic development and culture played by the Muslims refugees from India. This research proves that refugees are able to function in socio-economic and cultural development at their relocation
centers as evidenced in Sargodha. |
