Ohh sorry I forgot... to look at the link closely... anyway who wrote that HRW report.. a bharti???? The writer taken some stuff from a phd students presentation paper but unfortunately this bharati dalal is a bangladeshi national... However taking this presentation report seriously create some doubt about the validity of the claims.. see continuously made the report and assumption from different bharti media and org like saag.org and quoted from some other Bhartis...
But interestingly the points see tried to make either you tried to ignore or the HRW writer ignore selectively...
See pointed out as you posted some cross to meet the relatives... who has relatives in India??? The hindus... as they are going to India to meet relative it can be assumed that they went their after getting visa...
N regarding illegal migration see said this in her report...
"Different sources put the figure of Bangladeshi migrants between 12 and 20
million. Existing estimates suggest that Bangladeshi migration to India occurs mainly
from eastern side of India with three states namely -- West Bengal, Assam and
Tripura serving as major conduits of the flow, which also spread further to Bihar,
Delhi and Rajasthan and even to Maharastra (Table 1.2)."
N she just took those claim for granted... n wrote some bs and a HRW writer take it as a reference...
But she made some more outrageous claim .... "Moreover despite its denial, the 1991 census report of Bangladesh
mentioned about an unique phenomenon of missing population, estimated initially at
10 million and subsequently at 8 million, of whom 1.73 million are Hindus, and 6.27
million are Muslims (Ray, 2002)." which was dis proven long ago ... n hardly any one will use this as reference unless he/ she is a bharti or bharti agent...
Well well I know now you will claim I am just denying it... so this is for you from a reliable source...USAID

In the final national results from the
1991 census, the
BBS reported an unadjusted
enumerated population as of
March 1991 of 106.3 million. This figure
was corrected for a net undercount
of 4.6 percent, obtained from the 1991
postenumeration survey, giving a final adjusted total of III A million. An
undercount of 4.6 percent is not an exceptionally
high level of omission, although
reported coverage errors were
somewhat greater in the 1991 census
than in the census of 1981.
According to the two censuses, the
total population of Bangladesh grew
from 89.9 million in 1981 to lIlA million
in 1991.
This implies that the annual
rate of population growth fell from
2.32 percent during 1974-81 to 2.15
percent during 1981-91. Nevertheless,
the population growth rate produced by
the 1991 census is still high: an annual
population growth rate of 2.15 percent,
if held constant, generates a doubling
of population in just 32.3 years.
So, USAID says that still bangladesh's growth rate was high on 1991... it does not fit with the claim of millions of migration..
So just quoting some baseless claim in her report just prove that she is just a bharti agent.... n BANGLADESH INSTITUTE OF DEVELOPMENT STUDIES (BIDS) even its name is bangladesh but it is created not by an bangladeshi but by an american.
As this whole report used baseless bharti claims it does not have any validity as it did not use any reliable source...
This bharti dalal also claimed that this bangladeshis go to India to be a cheap labor typical n placed the figure 14 to 20 million typical claim by radical hindu group... but said an interesting thing... they go there as a migrant worker as many Indian companies recruit them...and some of them did not return.
For such claim... provide official figure how many bangladeshis are recruited as such and indian embassy gave visa... n how much they are earning... do not come with shameful figure like 20 or 30 rupee... as daily labor earn much more then that...
Bottom line to be a cheap labor the amount that the can earn more in bangladesh ... no one will go for illegal migration in india leaving behind their family unless they are hindu...
As the whole of your source taken from some bharti claim it does not have any validity n goes to the initial position what fallstuff said...
" A claim by an Indian or Indians ( no surprise here) typically on the Internet without any substantive or corroborative evidence, where the mere virtue of uttering such claim acts as "Scientific evidence." These claims are complete, not tainted with prejudice, and admissible in a court of Law as such claims are frequently used by Ministers and other high officials( ex: 30% Nasa scientists are of Indian origin)."
