^^ If you want to make money, you apply for a visa.

If you want to get rid of your home country, you apply for asylum.

Learn the difference.

There are grounds.

Some muslim from Guajarat might seek it.

Some christians in Orissa might seek it.

...However, the numbers in India's case would be dwindled by those of other countries.

 

[shuntmaster]

Wonder why majority of the asylum seekers are from muslim countries.
Honestly, I feel EU should restrict the number of Muslims from entering into their territories and turn the continent into Eurabia.

Dude...i have a question...Why UK is favorite place for Pakistan nationals for asylum? Even i remember one of your cricketer has left the cricket match last year went out to UK for asylum? I know that Pakistan public hate US and UK a lot...so how come again they embrace UK and apply for asylum? What is the public perception of Pakistani friends about them? Even i believe your Ex president Musharaf and Altaf Hussain are residing in UK....
