Indian minority reports cover Muslim appellants facing Hindutva and RSS-linked violence, Sikh appellants with perceived Khalistan links, Christians, and Dalits facing caste discrimination. The report is limited to the group and region relevant to the appellant.
Refusals in Indian cases very often rely on relocation to a large city. The report tests that argument directly: whether the people or organisations feared operate nationally, whether the appellant could be traced, and what life would realistically look like for them in the proposed location.
It also considers protection in the appellant's own state, since police responses to complaints from minorities differ considerably between regions.
Questions solicitors ask
- How does the report respond to an internal relocation finding?
- It addresses reach (whether the threat follows the appellant), identifiability (how they would be recognised) and reasonableness (support networks, work and housing in the proposed city), with sources for each.
