India's refugee regime and resettlement policy is yet to evolve a transparent framework linking rights, laws and policies. It results in great prevarication between policies and practices. The treatment of refugees widely differs in India from state to state and is subject to much pressure from civil society groups. This work is about the study of the issues and outcomes of the concerned refugee problems in the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh in particularly and North-east in general. It mainly analyzed the socio-economic and political aspects, responsible for the resettlement of the Chakma refugees in Arunachal Pradesh and understands the politics of partition and nationality responsible for migration with regard to Chakma's in india. It also looks into the various aspects of Constitutional provision and citizenship rights from the date of settlement to till now and various rights related to the Chakma's to understand the cleavages and contradiction in the refugee regime in India.
